'Sheer softness of forwards was chilling' - Wales v New Zealand UK media reaction as Pivac's side 'sent to slaughter'

Wales' disappointing record against New Zealand continued on Saturday with the All Blacks putting 55 points on Wayne Pivac's team in Cardiff.

It was a case of same old, same old for the men in red, despite a degree of optimism pre-match that a result could be achieved. In the end it turned into a gruesome afternoon for the hosts, who have now gone 70 years without a win over the Kiwis.

And with a just a year to go until the World Cup, nagging doubts are creeping in as to whether they can mount a decent challenge in the tournament.
