Mitchell unfazed by Wales scare
New Zealand will head into their World Cup quarter-final against South Africa determined to prove that their poor defensive effort against Wales was a timely wake-up call rather than a disastrous exposure of major problems.
The All Blacks provided enough gaps in their lines for Wales to score four tries, and they also seemed slow to react on the field, exemplified by Robert Jones performing a chip-and-regather trick twice in identical situations.
