Patchell

Another Patchell penalty nudged Wales a little further ahead, however, and solid defending took care of the rest to secure the victory for Gatland’s side.

Coach Warren Gatland will name his 31-man World Cup squad in early September with Dan Biggar, Jarrod Evans and Rhys Patchell in contention for the No.10 jersey.

Fly-half Patchell was the latest Welshman to leave this World Cup injured, having taken a bang to the shoulder.

There goes the gong, but Georgia have time for one last attack… but it’s stopped at source and Rhys Patchell can simply turn and tap the ball out the back of the pitch.

Wales then sacrificed two kickable penalties, and their forwards went close to breaching New Zealand's defence before full-back Hallam Amos applied a neat finish, claiming a try that Rhys Patchell converted.

With Wales fly half Dan Biggar apparently recovered from the head injury he sustained against the Wallabies, Rhys Patchell has to settle for a place on the bench despite a near faultless second half contribution against Australia.

Patchell did not have a good game at Twickenham, but Jones would not engage when questioned about the Welshman’s display.

Patchell nowhere near it underneath and knocks on.
