Great win but I have to question the strength of the opposition. They seemed pretty poor.
Wales are in the wilderness a bit right now. They’re trying to work out their best XV when they don’t have any clear standouts in a number of positions.
i always thought that the Scotland game would be tougher than this one.

Jordie has been superb at 12 again
Solid rather than spectacular. Which I'm more than happy with. Liked the way he dealt with the midfield changes as well.
He was better than solid, he tackled hard and had a number of very strong carries which got us on the front foot despite limited opportunities. You can see how influential he is when it comes to organisation as well, the last try he scored was all of his making. He's having a huge impact on the game from 12, bigger than what he could at the back.

Wales win, All Blacks very good with a few work ons. Looking forward to Tests against Scotland and England in the next fortnight.
Misinformation! Elon will be buying The Fern any day now.
I smell a post written pre match. At least he deleted the foster rant.

Good win, people
Out there hands up, Front row incl Taylor, Whitelock. Etc. wales still have soft underbelly. Only area to improve imo is accuracy, penalties, mistakes have opportunities to Wales but they not good enough to capitalise, Scotland/England prob execute better.

But Victor has been circumspect on Jordie at 12, so he can't break that now...

@Steve Clark very poor tonight.
He is a great battering ram but he ends up falling over his own feet 2 yards after knocking someone else down.
Jury is out for me. Ive never been fully happy with him and NZ wingers have always been a strong point. Current crop are uninspiring.We don't seem to have wingers who can score from 40 meters out anymore.

Rico to the wing and ALB to the mid field. Simple as that. ..

Must be based on Jordie's body of work at 12? Maybe he needs another 10 solid tests?

Don't get me wrong. I'm just happy to have a solid 12 who goes about his business quietly, with minimal brain-farts, doesn't get knocked back in tackles or throws Hail Mary passes. Finally.

That's the biggest thing for me. Was sick of seeing Havili and Mo'unga getting rag dolled and choke tackled backwards over the last two years.

Cautious rather than circumspect after all the issues and false starts at 12 in recent years. Called for him to start in this game as it was a risk-free no-brainer. Solid works just fine for me right now after a bloody good debut against Oz - means it wasn't a one-off.

Stay away from Cwmbran. The women there are born pregnant.
Also avoid Chip Alley.
