WALES centre Nick Tompkins believes New Zealand's defeat to England adds extra spice for their visit to Cardiff.

England ended the All Blacks’ ambitions of an autumn Grand Slam by roaring back from conceding 12 early points at Allianz Stadium to win 33-19.

New Zealand's defeat was met with dismay back home with fans and media urging Scott Robertson’s side to bounce back this Saturday and restore lost pride.

“They'll be fired right up so you have to match it,” said Tompkins, whose only previous experience of playing against New Zealand was a 55-23 defeat in Cardiff three years ago.

“There may be some added spice. It will make it a brilliant game because you know they'll come out strong.
