Tom Rogers was on fire, bagging a stunning hat-trick and showing exactly why he’s one to watch. Louis Rees-Zammit also joined the try-fest with a superb late effort, while Dan Edwards impressed with his six points from the tee. 🎯
The match saw some fierce competition from New Zealand with tries aplenty from Caleb Clarke, Ruben Love, Tamaiti Williams, Rieko Ioane, and Sevu Reece. Damian McKenzie kept the scoreboard ticking for the Kiwis with 17 points. 🏁
Player ratings reveal a mixed bag of performances with Blair Murray, Max Llewellyn, and Joe Hawkins all notable for their efforts, while Dafydd Jenkins delivered arguably his best performance yet in the Welsh jersey. It’s a budding partnership to get excited about! 🌟
The Welsh defence was tested, but Harri Deaves showed heart with a robust debut, and Alex Mann’s relentless tackling didn’t go unnoticed. However, there’s room for improvement, especially in terms of discipline and maintaining control during crucial moments.
