Wales defence coach Gethin Jenkins has questioned whether his players live on the edge enough after a miserable defensive outing against the All Blacks in their autumn opener.
Wales went into the match looking to end 69 years of waiting for a victory over New Zealand. While that was always unlikely, the manner of defeat - with the All Blacks scoring more points than ever before in Wales - was certainly disappointing.
The eight tries and how they came about, with New Zealand continually making easy yards against a Welsh rearguard that couldn't live with the Kiwi's ruck speed and footwork through contact in the tight, was concerning. The ease of passage for the All Blacks was all the more frustrating given how Wales fronted up across three Tests in South Africa this summer.
