What did Hansen say in his interview? ITV bloody didn't show it
@Jailbreak7 worth looking for mate, see for yourself, pictures painting a thousand words kind of thing.

Thought BBBR was lucky to get man of match. Sam Cane for me. Man he hits hard.
Cane or Bender.
Thought Scott Barrett was into it more than Retallick tonight.

We are so blessed to have players that give their all whenever they wear the black jersey
Just want to pay tribute to Kieran Read,Ryan Crotty ,Ben Smith and Sonny Bill Williams ..I guess we never really get a line on how good players were until they leave ..
Also to Steve Hansen..wishing this great coach and man all the very best..to all these out going men that have contributed to the game we love so much ,

Not a lot really.
The usual stuff about coming out and playing a good game for the fans and it was tough for Wales too, blah blah.
The good bit was he was asked what it meant to be involved with the ABs for 16? years, he had to take a couple of deep breaths as he nearly lost his composure. His answer was simple but summed up beautifully ‘a privilege’ -

Agree. Scott was our best lock across the tournament.

Except his discipline. Once again most penalised ABs

Could have been so much worse
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

Yep we do.
We put ourselves in great positions and then consistently blow it. Especially against the ABs.
It was also a nod to last weekend - for both teams.
If we'd tried to play rugby last week rather thsn defend and live off SA mistakes we would have been watching this match.

@Machpants a lot of his penalties will be at ruck time. Hits a lot of rucks and makes a difference. But fair point.

ITV finally showing the Hansen interview.
Loved that
-
Hansen right that to be involved with the All Blacks in a manner at all: player, coach, management or a fan is a privilege.
