New Zealand held off a magnificent Wales effort to win a pulsating first Test in Auckland 39-21. The final scoreline flattered the hosts - with 20 minutes left, Wales led the world champions 21-18 and had real hope of a historic first victory over the All Blacks.Toby Faletau had put Wales in front early on before superb tries from Julian Savea and Waisake Naholo put the All Blacks 15-5 up. Julian Savea scores New Zealands first try against Wales Dan Biggar booted two penalties and then Rhys Webb went over after a brilliant Liam Williams break to give Wales an 18-15 lead at half time. But after an exchange of penalties, the All Blacks finally broke free with tries from Naholo, Kieran Read, and in the final seconds, Nathan Harris.Aaron Cruden scored an early penalty to put the Kiwis 3-0 up, but Welsh responded with a magnificent team try.

Naholo skinned Hallam Amos down the left and offloaded to Malakai Fekitoa, and when the hosts recycled Crudens inch-perfect crossfield kick was collected by Savea to go over.They followed that try with length-of-the-field beauty. Ben Smith claimed Biggars high bomb, and beat two before feeding Cruden. He drew Amos and sent Naholo over - 15-5. All Blacks captain Kieran Read was proud of how his players responded in the second half Biggar clawed back two penalties, and then Wales scored their second - and what a try it was.Williams collected a long clearance, then broke through midfield beating, one, two, three All Blacks, then timed his pass to Webb perfectly and the scrum-half had just enough pace and power to stretch over the line.Biggar added the extras and Wales finished a breathtaking first half 18-15 up. Wales captain Sam Warburton was encouraged by the sides bold attacking play despite their 39-21 defeat Cruden and Biggar exchanged penalties early in the second half, but the All Blacks pressure was building, despite magnificent Wales defence.Just after the hour mark, Aaron Smith took a quick tap and Naholo smashed his way through three defenders to touch down.

All Blacks captain Kieran Read slides over the line In the final seconds, the Kiwis scored in the corner through replacement Harris - and although the final margin was 18 points, that was in no way a fair reflection of a magnificent match.The two teams will meet again in Wellington next Saturday, live on Sky Sports.

Until his traded to the Tigers in the off-season for slugger Prince Fielder, Kinsler had spent his entire professional career in the Texas Rangers organization. He said he had an inkling after last season that he was on the trade block. He also said he was excited about a change. With the rumours swirling, Kinsler ended up with the Tigers who needed fielding and speed. The Tigers finished last in the American League in 2013 with only 35 stolen bases, 114 behind the Rangers. New Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said he wants to run more this year. Speedy Austin Jackson led the Tigers with eight steals as the Tigers relied on their sluggers, including Fielder, to knock in runs. With the trade of Fielder, the Tigers received Kinsler, who stole 15 bases for the Rangers last year, but has stolen more than 20 bases three times. In addition to Kinsler, the Tigers added Rajai Davis from the Toronto Blue Jays. Davis stole 45 bases for the Blue Jays in 2013. Kinsler was one of several high-profile additions for the Tigers during the off-season. He isnt expected to hit with Fielders power, but his line-drive hitting might be better suited for Comerica Park, which is a haven for line drive hitters, not sluggers. Kinsler lost nearly 20 pounds in the off-season once he was informed of the trade. "I like Comerica Park and wanted to lose weight," Kinsler said after reporting to Tigers camp on Sunday. "I wanted to get faster and get back to hitting line drives. If you hit it in the gap out there, you should get at least three (bases) out of it. I have more chances to run and set up the heart of the order. I never had to lose weight in Texas. As hot as it was, it was easy over there. I had to try to add weight over there. Now I have to lose it. Im ready to go right now." Ausmus said that the additions of Kinsler and Davis change the dynamics of the lineup. Former manager Jim Leyland wasnt big on stealing bases and his recent teams tended to be cautious on the bases. Ausmus said things might be different thhis season, his first as a major league manager.dddddddddddd "Kinsler and Davis bring us the opportunity to get some more stolen bases," Ausmus said. "With Jackson and Torii Hunter to go with them, we have some speed this year. It is a different team with a different personality." Tigers president and general manager Dave Dombrowski said the discussions on the Fielder-for-Kinsler trade went quickly and set the new running philosophy into motion. "We wanted more speed, but if you look at last years team, we had very few places where we could just add speed to the order," Dombrowski said. We had to find a way and the Prince trade set everything into motion. Well be faster this year." Kinsler batted .277 with 13 homers and 72 RBI for the Rangers last season, but said he was prepared for a trade. "I wanted to go to a contender," said Kinsler, who lost two World Series with the Rangers. "It is a place I feel very strongly has a chance to win a World Series. It will be a new experience and I am excited to get out of my comfort zone. I love the park, it suits me, and I can run. We have star power on this team and I worked hard to lose those pounds because I expect to do a lot of running this year." NOTES: Once again, C Victor Martinez is working as a catcher during the daily bullpen sessions. Ausmus said Martinez will see duty behind the plate this season, especially during early interleague play. Ausmus said Martinez will be limited. "Theres no way hell catch 100 games this year," Ausmus said. "Hell work, but not as much as the other catchers.". Ausmus has started a new clubhouse ritual just before opening morning practice. The players and coaches get together and talk about not only baseball, but whatever is on their minds. Some of it, Ausmus said, is just good-natured kidding around. "It gives us a chance to laugh and laugh at each other," he said. "Its all in fun and to loosen things up."... The Tigers will host their first full-squad meeting no Tuesday even though most key position players have already reported. ' ' '
