Wales captain Sam Warburton admits New Zealand"s superior fitness told in the end


New Zealand v Wales Full Match HD (Test 1) Spring Tours

Warburton did, though, feel that Wales would be better for the experience and that the final score gave the scoreboard an unjust look.

You have to go through those games and experience that to get better, he said. I think we will. You cant train at that high intensity during the week otherwise you wont be able to last for the game. That try at the end was a bit disappointing and made the scoreline look a little bit ugly, even though they fully deserved to win.

Wales now play the Chiefs in Hamilton on Tuesday, with Luke Charteris captaining a side that has seven starters- Scott Williams, Gareth Davies, Rob Evans, Scott Baldwin, Tomas Francis, Jake Ball and Ellis Jenkins- who appeared in Auckland, while Bradley Davies, Ross Moriarty and Gareth Anscombe are on the bench.

Theyve got a big week, havent they, with the hometown game for Warren (Gatland)? said New Zealand head coach Steve Hansen in reference to his opposite number. Theyve got a 35-man squad, but Im pretty pleased were not playing on Tuesday.
