Black wall too strong for luckless Welsh

The All Blacks preserved their 56-year record against Wales on the back of the most ferocious defensive effort, writes Gregor Paul in the Herald on Sunday.

"For Wales, it must have felt like a cyclist ploughing through a swarm of flies with an open mouth. There was this black cloud smothering them; choking them; denying them.

"It was relentless. A performance that says not only is the structure and technique all in pace - so too the attitude and desire to win. Wales had ample possession. They had the territory, too. But in the end, they didn't have the class, the vision or the trickery to find any holes."
