WALES sunk to a 32-point loss to the All Blacks on Saturday in Cardiff, as the visitors ran in eight tries and stretched their winning streak to 70 years.

But Wales head coach Wayne Pivac was philosophical after the game, explaining that he had his players together for just two weeks and believes his side will get better as the autumn Test series continues.

“New Zealand are battle-hardened after a string of games together in the Rugby Championship, including last weekend’s game in Tokyo, but we will improve.”
