Evans was 'a bit overwhelmed' by dramatic kick

WALES matchwinner Jarrod Evans admitted to feeling “a bit overwhelmed” after his late penalty secured a dramatic 24-23 victory over Japan in Cardiff.
-
Substitute Evans held his nerve to slot the final kick of a Principality Stadium clash that saw the lead change hands six times.
And in doing so, the Harlequins fly-half guaranteed Wales a top-12 seeding - and avoiding two heavyweight nations in their group - when the 2027 Rugby World Cup pool draw is made on December 3.
"I am a bit overwhelmed and very relieved to have kicked that one," Evans said.
"We had to go from goal-line to goal-line to get our chance, but the boys showed great composure to set up the chance for me to win it.
"That kick is why I do all the repetitions in training. It is a brilliant feeling."
