Sam Warburton: 'Wales must finish stronger'

Wales captain Sam Warburton admits that they need to work on being stronger in the final 10 minutes of matches after late their defeat to New Zealand in Cardiff.

Sam Warburton has admitted that Wales need to work on their performances in the latter stages of matches after conceding 19 points late on against New Zealand in their Autumn International yesterday.

Wales held a 16-15 lead with just over 10 minutes to go at the Millennium Stadium, but allowed the visitors to score three tries in the final minutes for a 34-16 win.

The Welsh captain told BBC Sport: "The most important part of a Test match is the last 10 minutes, and that's where we need to improve.

"You've got to give New Zealand credit for the way they played the last 10 minutes. They put the ball through hands and got a couple of tries. I'm still very proud of the effort of the players."

Wales face South Africa in their final Test of 2014 next weekend, having gone 22 matches without victory over one of the three Southern Hemisphere giants.
