Australia v Wales first Test: Live text and commentary

Wales coach Warren Gatland told Sky Sports:

“I think we
hurt ourselves with the number of turnovers, that didn’t help. The soft
penalties we gave away early on hurt us.

“We got back into the game. It was close.
I need to get some clarity on the disallowed try from the maul.

“Where we
are at the moment is we are not getting any 50-50 calls. We just have to work
through that.

“We know
where we are at the moment. We are developing this team. They are going to have
to learn from those experiences.

“I thought
there were some real positives out there in terms of what we are trying to do.

“Again when
you are chasing the game, you want to get some fresh legs on there and give
players that experience of being out there in an international game.

“We have
said all along… I have been pretty up front in terms of what we are doing
trying to build this team.

“We are
showing glimpses. I hope people can see some development in terms of the
players and the experience of what we are trying to do towards the next World
Cup.

“I
understand that you are going to get pressure from people like yourself who talk
about losing runs at the moment, but in that run we have been in games and
easily could have won a few.

“Tonight is
the same – a bit more accuracy and a couple of decisions go your way and you
win that. Those are the big moments that we need to learn from to make sure in
those tight matches, you end up winning on the scoreboard.”
