'We played our best rugby against Wales'

New Zealand coach Graham Henry believes Wales were the victims of the All Blacks' best performance of their European tour.

'You have to give us credit,' said Henry.

'We played our best rugby on the tour for 80 minutes and the Welsh hung in there.

'I thought Wales played pretty well.

'I know the score doesn't show that but I don't want to be too harsh.'
