Wales v New Zealand Rugby Union

Buttner and the BBC sport website until 6pm. Now it is Wales against

Welcome to the stadium to end all stadiums, There is such a good

atmosphere. We have had a rousing Delilah. We have a Welsh nation

desperate to get their first victory over New Zealand in 59

years. They will have to improve. They have been a shadow of their

former selves over the past two It's is going to be very tough for

Wales. It is all going horribly And you can forget being in the

jungle. This is the place to be. We have Prince William here and the

first time for his wife. It is well come back to Warren Gatland. He

missed those defeats. Wales are in need of a Great Redeemer. I said,

the Messiah is back. I do not know what difference I would have made

over the past couple of weeks. We just had to laugh. We are close

group. We have Adam Jones and Jeremy Guscott. Adam, if ever there

was the day Wales need a 16th man, it is today. Yes. It is a big day.

I'm sure the crowd will make a hell of a nice for the boys. Some people

have been scathing over the current squad. How much has that fired them

up? Some of them quickly forget what it was like when they were

playing. They just have to bounce back. Any danger of complacency?

Everybody is expecting your lads to win. I think there is a blend of

youth and a lot of experience here. These guys have elevated themselves

and pushed on to another level. It the history far Wales, their

assignations champions, are -- they are Six Nations champions. I am

looking forward to 84 * Wales can play beautiful robe a Falstaff --

Wales can play beautiful rugby. Martyn Williams is on the touch

line. The two cap sons, Richie McCaw against Sam Warburton. How

significant will that you'll be? Sam Warburton has come under a lot

of criticism. It is a massive death. He -- massive day. Sam Warburton's

form has dipped slightly. Do you think we will see a change in him

it is the same for the rest of the The atmosphere here is deafening.

Does it inspired the Welsh players? Yes. As you come into the tunnel,

it is an amazing noise. And pates missing. How much does that matter?

-- Darren Carter is missing. It is a big loss here. The senior players

need to look after a tame. If you wear Warren Gatland, what areas do

you think Wales have to focus on? They need to keep hold of the ball.

They cannot afford to give it to the All Blacks. The line-out has

been a weakness for Wales, but they seem to have got that better. They

have got the skill. He they can cause problems. The Welsh guys love

running the ball. This would have been a rugby World Cup final. Maybe

that is an added incentive. What about Sam Warburton? He was dropped

them restored. He is against Richie McCaw, so he has to be at the top

of his game. You can see the All Blacks side coming towards the

tunnel. Become more regularly now. -- they come more regularly now.

The best team in the world, led by one of the best players in the

world over. The atmosphere cranks up a notch. We wait for Wales. What

will happen? I want to see a great game. He Adam, the crowd and

expecting for one? You have to go out expecting to win. The do roof

has been shut for the last couple of days. It has been absolutely

have a good game of running rugby. The Welsh team at keeping everybody

waiting. You can see them in the The usual understated welcome for

disruption. Thanks. Some 17 missed tackles by Wales. 17!

When New Zealand get a chance, they take it. It looks like a one-sided

game. It is fascinating. Before we start praising the All Blacks for

the brilliance, the assault of Andrew Hore on Bradley Davies was

unacceptable. I think he will be reprimanded for that. We cannot

have stuff like that in a game. we had this discussion with Adam

speed of the ball, a good delivery is brilliant. The Rhys Priestland

kicked it away. There was no option The Welsh were struggling there.

There were no missed passes. How many missed tackles? We have seen

70 so far, and there were four right there. This is what we were

taught as kids, catch the ball first. It is simple,

straightforward passing. What about Welsh opportunities? These are

mistakes. You really cannot make them. These are world-class players

making elementary mistakes. It is difficult to keep your mind in the

right place. That was a schoolboy error from Rhys Priestland. Going

back to that first try, when Priestland kicked the ball, there

were three Welsh backs and about seven New Zealanders in front of

him. New Zealanders always have players. You pride yourself on the

inside and the outside. Allow the guys had to do their job. You can

change the state of play. Wales created some opportunities but

never finished them off. Earlier, a horror result for Scotland. It was

described as the worst result in Scottish rugby history. Watch this.

win the ball. Credit to them, they went for it and it worked. Is the

intensity of playing against the All Blacks slightly different from

playing against any other team? The pace of that seemed different, the

relentless pace. Yes. You do have to step up with teams from the

southern hemisphere and it is even higher with the All Blacks. They do

not make as many mistakes as other teams, so there is not as many

stops. Though Ms all with momentum and you have to keep going. They

pride themselves on their skill and their fitness level. They seem

another 10 % fitter than anyone else in the world to me. The

Williams came in their. It was well deserved. The All Blacks might say

the game was already won. They did well to come back then. That's chat

with Jonathan Davis. What is your Wales played exceptionally well. I

thought Scott Williams played well. A lot better in the second half.

The All Blacks are so good at They just run or few, they are

brilliant. It is so difficult to play against them. Their decision-

making is a lot better than anybody else, and their anticipation. They

know when to drop back. It is a pleasure to watch them play. I

to win the ball. I think the All Blacks have a different strategy.

They can work out the situation on the moon. -- on the run. You will

not say many All Blacks can make unless they know they can do it.

Jonathan, a quick word about next week. Next week against Australia

is a must win. Yes. They have to get something out of this. Or first

half, too many errors. If they do the same number of errors against

Australia, they won the news. They Is that pride restored? A lesser

character could have thrown in the towel. We would need to do that. I

don't think some of the injuries helped. It to go so well to come to

grips with that level of pace and intensity but I thought we grew

into the game, an outstanding second half performance. I am proud

of the way we finished and dominated territory and position in

the second half. Unfortunately we were not able to do it in the first

half. Weather players under orders to kick for the corner early on

when they squandered penalty opportunities? Pat having that 30

man line-up up their sleeves? doesn't help you when you kick too

deep. Would you have prepared the penalties? That is the way we

wanted to take the game. The players felt the second when wasn't

dead, an unfortunate decision. You have got to take some risks against

the All Blacks. Unfortunately we turned them over on a couple of

occasions. We need to play New Zealand, they are quite comfortable

at times to concede three points, and stock momentum. Once we got

there down there we wanted to do that and put them under pressure.

They are phenomenal rugby players, let's not take anything away from

them, but have they got a nasty edge at times when we look at what

Andrew Hore Did you badly Davies? Disappointing to lose Bradley.

Haven't had a good look at it but looks like he was hit from behind,

condition -- concussion, but to get into hospital. There was a massive

loss. Then we lost to Jamie. We sort of dug deep and showed some

real character. Warburton had an outstanding game, both wing ats

were impressive, some positive performances. There were, well done.

The disciplinary panel have a responsibility to the game when

they meet in the next couple of days too will go back Andrew Hore.

What else has been happening? England went down to South Africa

against -- at Twickenham. Albert scores the try, England go down

there a single point, 16-15. At Pitlochry an extraordinary result

and from Andy Nicol's perspective as part of our commentary team the

worst result in Scott and history, find a collect scoring the second

try for Tonga as they beat Scotland by a 21-15. That ensures Scotland

do not finish in the top eight of the world rankings. Argentina are

out of the top eight of the world rankings, Kilroy on his debut, a

fantastic match for Ireland. Real verve and about feminism --

Some there were just coming up short against France. -- Samoa were.

As far as the world rankings are concerned for the World Cup, Samoa

were on points difference move Thank you to the guys here. New

Zealand won emphatically but it was a brilliant occasion with some

fantastic moments. The intensity of the occasion and the passion was

there from the first whistle to the last. We will do it again next week
