Tidy pace from a prop too.

Ten minutes before our first box kick, and for once it was a decent one.

14-0. But too easy that.

Going for the corner rather than the posts. Almost worked once for Wales.

Try Wales.

Lots of patience and great hands fromPatchell with a Greta finish by Amos.

Good play from Wales and force a penalty. Dillon Lewis sidestepping our wide.

We’ve just won a scrum penalty. Patchell kicks deep into AB territory.

Lifter - similar to England - just be glad that it didn't fall into NZs arms 5m from your own line!

AB try which followed Wales staring at the ball at a ruck for half an hour, a counter drive then some poor tackling.

Oh dear. AB try after the gong. Welsh defence very leaky.

Moriarty taking a lot of knocks today, caught a boot to the head five minutes ago.

I wonder if this game is showing the difference between a team that got an extra rest due to the typhoon and one that didn’t.

First mistake from Amos. A nothing kick allows the ABs to kick to the corner where they steal Welsh ball.

And then score a try. Offload from SBW to Crotty.

Maybe. Although there are a number of fresh legs in the Welsh team. A few of our first choice players look a bit out of gas.

Don’t tell the English, but it also shows how much harder the abs are to defend if there is an off side line.

We look good in pets but then basic skills let us down.

Patchell has taken a knock. Biggar is on along with Gareth Davies.

Shingler on for Moriarty.

Thankfully ruled out for forward pass.

Still 35-10.
