Wales head coach Warren Gatland: “I thought we showed some real resilience. The game looked comfortable on a couple of occasions.
“They kept coming back at us. I thought for me the most disappointing thing was our maul defence, something we pride ourselves on over the last 18 months.
“But that’s probably due to some of the new boys coming in and some new combinations.
“When we’re under a bit of pressure to have to go back and score, they showed some real character.”
