There was a real sense of deja vu to Saturday's Wales v New Zealand clash according to Simon Roberts in the Wales on Sunday.
"Twelve months ago, Wales led 9-6 at the break, only to go down to a 29-9 defeat. This time, it was 6-6 at half-time and once again the Kiwis turned the screw in the second period as an All Black tide swept over the hosts, with 14-point Man of the Match Dan Carter adding to the only try of the game from hooker Andrew Hore.
"At 19-6 down with 15 minutes to go, things looked ominous for Wales, but to their great credit they fought back with two penalties from Stephen Jones, the second of which came shortly after a contentious Carter high tackle on Martin Roberts went unpunished following a searing Shane Williams break."
