Jones explains Haka move

Captain Ryan Jones has revealed the reasoning behind Wales's response to the New Zealand haka before Saturday's Test at the Millennium Stadium.

Wales stood their ground at the end of the Maori dance, leading to a stand-off as both sides eyeballed each other prior to the kick-off.

Jones said: "We wanted to show them that it is our stadium, our pitch and our fans. We were confident."

Byrne wants big win

Lee Byrne has urged Wales to shed their "nearly-men" tag after another frustrating Millennium Stadium failure against a Tri-Nations heavyweight.

Wales' 29-9 loss to New Zealand was their 20th successive defeat at the hands of world rugby's most ruthless and clinical team.

Full-back Byrne said: "Playing quite well is not good enough - we can't be the nearly men all the time."
