Well, it must have been an incredibly tough week for the players. All things considered that's a really good effort, never looked like losing. Proud of that effort.

They hit hard from the start and won the contact. Unlike last week.
Would like to see more control and better decision making so we can win tight ones.

Could have been so much worse
But frustratingly so much better -
Cheers, Steve Hansen, an excellent man, superb sportsmanship, second to none as a defender of the values of the game and a very good coach.
Sadly not ruthless in enough in the last two or three years when it mattered most, but a great record any way.
Pleased for him that he signed off as AB coach with a win.

Well said mate. Lots of different emotions for the players. Disappointed players, those that were playing their last test, Hansen’s last test and he’s tearing up.

For the good of the game.

Gee, Hansen got emotional there.
Red eyes welling up and choking back the emotions. Massive impact to reflect on.

I disagree actually.
Big crowd enjoyed it.
Lots of fans travel over for the semi finals onwards so it makes sense to have a game for half of the fans to get another game.
No doubt a big money spinner for both WR and the host nation.

But frustratingly so much betterI think, realistically, not much. It's weird, Wales have a real block Vs ABs. In Gatland's time only once have Wales Benn within ten. I think this result is pretty much part for the course, response when Wales were a bit bashed up and a day less rest

On the bright side, we've beaten 2/3 other semi finalists
