New Zealand crushed the visitors 42-9, in what was a fitting farewell to the great venue. /spanbr /br /Carter scored two of the All Blacks’ five tries as they ran the tired looking Welsh side ragged. His form brought back memories of 2005, when against the British amp; Irish Lions he showed his world class ability.br /br /The Welsh kept up their 57 year losing streak against the number one ranked side in the world as they weren’t able to capitalise on what looked to be a decent start to the game. In the end they left with only the long range penalty from Leigh Halfpenny, and an early dropgoal and penalty from flyhalf Stephen Jones.br /br /Keven Mealamu, Corey Jane and Richard Kahui all crossed for the home side as they took their chances and punished a lacklustre Wales in the last twenty minutes of the game.br /br /"We faced a very good team that capitalised on every mistake we made. We matched them in the set-pieces, but we lost out around the rest of the park," said Ryan Jones.br /br /All Black coach Graeme Henry expects a backlash next weekend.br /br /"I think they've got a lot of pride, a lot of pride as a rugby nation. They will be hurting and when the Welsh dragon is hurt it usually breathes a bit of fire. I'd say they'd be right up for it."br /br /Wales coach Warren Gatland, returning to his homeland, said his side will learn from it.br /br /"I'd love to play the All Blacks every week because that is the only way you get better. The last thing we would want to do is get on a plane tomorrow and go home. We have another chance next week and we have some positives and some negatives to work on.br /br /"The pace, the tempo and the intensity is not something that we face every week," he added.br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z_gK4K-lUbwamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z_gK4K-lUbwamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time: /span05:05/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-1255025437504206849?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=nQR_aSZitAE:V3aUE5d4bmA:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/nQR_aSZitAE" height="1" width="1"/ More...
