All Blacks win can keep Welsh fans roaring - James
Eddie James and Taine Basham are hungry for more after helping Wales make history against New Zealand, with Australia next up in Cardiff.
Eddie James made his Wales debut against South Africa in 2024, and it was a historic win against New Zealand that solidified his place in the team. The 24-year-old centre from Scarlets showcased his strong running and offloading skills, contributing to five tries in the game. One of his most noteworthy plays was his tackle on Anton Lienert-Brown, which prevented a potential try and showcased his defensive prowess.
James expressed his amazement at the defensive performance and his pride in representing a small nation with a strong heart. He also credited the passionate support of the 55,152-strong Principality Stadium crowd, which helped boost the team's confidence and is expected to have a positive impact on the upcoming game against Australia.
Additionally, Taine Basham, who was recently recalled to the Welsh team due to his strong season with Cardiff, also made history by scoring two tries in his debut against Canada in 2021 and four years after his last start.
