Lake hopes Wales can emulate football team’s heroics against All Blacks

Wales vs. New Zealand in the Nations Series in the autumn

Cardiff Principality Stadium Date: Saturday, November 22 Kick-off: 15:10 GMT

Dewi Lake hopes Welsh rugby can imitate Welsh rugby by accomplishing something exceptional this weekend.

At Cardiff City Stadium, Craig Bellamy’s men won the match 7-1 to advance to the World Cup play-off round.

On Saturday, Lake’s men will take on New Zealand, with Wales hoping to shock them for the first time since 1953.

Wales is almost unaffected by the situation, but Lake hopes the rugby team can inspire a country like the football players they train with.

Last night, we watched them play on the TV with everyone watching, according to Lake.

We’ve spoken about their performance as a group, which “excited the nation.”

When supporters are in that stadium or watching us from home, our job is to rekindle the flame in their bellies.

Since winning the previous game 72 years ago, Wales have lost 33 of their previous 33 matches against New Zealand.

Ending that losing streak is improbable because Steve Tandy’s team are ranked 12th in the world and 10th overall.

“I believe Wales have always been a huge underdog against a team like New Zealand,” Lake said.

Being underdogs, we have always loved it, and I suppose it’s a case of not having a chance.

It’s about going out and working toward a victory because that’s what we want in the end.

This week, Lock Dafydd Jenkins stated that the squad believes they can win, and Lake claims that the home side must share this sentiment.

Lace told BBC Radio Cymru, “We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t think we could win.”

If we thought we couldn’t win, then there’s no point in the building.

Lake, 26, will have the opportunity to play senior international against New Zealand, despite playing for Wales’ Under-20s when they defeated the Baby Blacks in the 2019 Junior World Championships in Argentina.

As a child, Lake said, “You dream about afflicting New Zealand.”

There is a lot of excitement because we know they’re an excellent team, so we’ll have to be there from scratch.

After losing 33-19 to England in the northern hemisphere in November, New Zealand coach Scott Robertson is under pressure.

England faced them on the weekend, according to Lake, who has played 24 international matches.

“They had a lot of fun flying into the air, picking up the second balls, and things like that.”
