The All Blacks have confirmed one thing for us… and that is that their tight 5 is suspect.
Bokke must take careful notice of this, for The Rugby Championship.
The frailties are there in the All Blacks side and game plan, it just needs to be capitalized on… and that’s been the difficulty in recent years. The cracks seem to be widening though!
239 @ NZINCHINA:
No, I expect you to man up and not be such a sourpuss!
The 1st Test of a year is always rusty… I expect some of the same by the Bokke.
WC in England next year!
@ NZINCHINA:
Lighten up, boet.
@ grootblousmile:
hard not to be groot when the ref is blamed for 95% of the tests we win, pathetic really but if the team I followed had won nothing for half a decade i’d probably write the same shite
@ Nama:
no mate its the same shite after every test
Out of here, lets hope the world 15 win.
245 @ NZINCHINA:
I see it’s senseless talking to you.. probably born a glass half empty, and nothing will change that.
Like Nama said, lighten up, dude!

Stupid and cynical statement
I only blame the refs for NOT picking up the continuous jersey pulling and off sides by McCaw
But if the Saffers comment pees you off, just turn off the PC, not that you will be missed
Expected much more from NZ
Not a good result at all, they should have buried the English
Hopefully they do better next week
@ nortierd:
I’m sure they will.
A Top performance by Ref Nigel. (we have plans for Nigel).
Not a top performance by NZ.
England played very well considering 8 or 9 of their top players were not available for selection.
.
We (NZ) got away with that one, and I would expect a vast improvement next week.
England on the other will be re-integrating at least 5 or 6 players into their starting 15.
.
Next week NZ by 15.
.
And that ladies and gentlesaffa’s was win #15 on the trot.
MOM ……………………………imho……………………………Tuilagi the English centre.
@ mikeybrass:
@ NZINCHINA:
More like too chicken scared to penalise. Crap like this makes me want to support the Poms for round 2 *shudder*.
.
Why would Nigel be scared to penalise?
252 @ cane:
Good man, that is a top comment.
I said earlier, I think no doubt the All Blacks will improve to next week.
Write the performance or lack of performance down to early Test season rust!
