STEVE Tandy praised Wales’ “huge effort” against New Zealand as the All Blacks battled their way to a 52-26 victory in Cardiff.

The visitors ran in seven tries to end their year on a high, but Wales scored four of their own as wing Tom Rogers became the first Welshman to score a hat-trick against New Zealand.

Wales also recorded their highest number of points against the All Blacks in Cardiff.

Head coach Tandy said: “There's lots to be proud of and lots to see how we want to go about the game. Some of the tries we scored were outstanding.

“Obviously there are things we need to work on and, ultimately, the scoreboard is not what we want and where we want to go.

“But the group, the toughness and effort they put in right through the game, I’m massively proud of them as a coach.
