to win and we haven't come away with the win," said wing Leigh Halfpenny.

"We are very disappointed that we haven't been able to win. It's the same sort of errors - a lot of turnovers in key moments - and we didn't take our chances. That was the same story as last week.

"We know the work we've got in front of us and where we are at the moment and where we need to get to in order to be competing with these guys and going on to beat them."

Halfpenny agreed after going three games without scoring a try against the All Blacks that Roberts' 78th minute effort was something to savour.

"It shows that we can put the All Blacks under pressure and the way we attack is dangerous," the Cardiff Blues player added.

"When we kept the ball we put them under pressure and the try did come in the end and that was a massive boost for us psychologically.

"We can take a lot out of this performance however disappointed we are. We will take the positives out of it and look forward to next season now. We know where we need to get to and this series has been great for us as a learning curve and for us to realise where we're at.

"Hopefully all the boys will gain a lot of experience from this and learn a lot in order for us to come here for the World Cup and compete with the best."
