Australia eased to a 52-20 victory against Wales, who suffered a record 11th consecutive Test defeat, at the Principality Stadium
Never go back. Warren Gatland must wonder if he should have heeded that apparently universal truth. After this defeat the New Zealander has overseen the longest ever run of Wales losses: 11 and counting.
Another maxim that carries weight is that there is no substitute for experience. As Kerevi and Rob Valetini both marked their 50th Australia cap, the Welsh backline by contrast had 63 among them, with the fly-half Gareth Anscombe accounting for 38. Gatland had called for his current crop to be “more accurate and disciplined” during the buildup, but after a cagey opening, Wright was tearing down the Australian left and feeding Andrew Kellaway with a smart offload inside.
