Tavis Knoyle has dedicated his first Wales cap against the All Blacks to his close family in the South Wales Evening Post.
"It was a huge honour for me to come on and represent my country and I wanted to do my best but it was difficult in the circumstances.
"If someone had told me at the start of the season I'd be playing for Wales against the All Blacks then I would have said they needed their head examined.
"Of course, it was a great experience and Rob Howley gave me a pat on the back at the end and said 'Well done'. But the scoreline was so disappointing because we had been training so well especially after the South Africa game."
