    Astude AB coaches. Playing territory and lifting intensity + subbing at right time make it look like a comprehensive victory. Was vry close up to 51 minutes.

    Hi McLook was surprised to see score just shows how good NZ are. Hopefully some team can match them otherwise will be a predictable Rugby Championship. Maybe Argentina away could be their hardest game?

    7 Unanswered All Blacks tries in the 2nd half…

    All Blacks winning by an incredible 41 points…

    Whitelock confirming that info coming from sideline made a difference. Key aspect if AB is their ability to read the game and to adjust during the match. They consequently seem to get better as the game progress.

    Will be interesting to see what the Pumas do against Wales tonight late.

    Hope the Jaguares run of form continues for Los Pumas in this International window…

    Best France U20s player looked to be their number 8 Joseph. So fast and skilful and powerful scored 2 tries and made loads of ground. They way he scored one if his tries strechtin out one handed and placing the ball made me think he is modelled after Fijian Nakarawa. If he stays injury free think Joseph could be a big star.

    He (No 8) was superb… and so too the one French prop…

    But the Baby Bokke scrum was woeful in the 1st half, their defences all over the place… the Bokkies flyhalf totally out of his depth… it was hard to watch.

    Only seen highlights but concerning to see trend of the Baby Boks pack looking less physical than other teams. Will be interesting to see how they match up to England who look to have some big players who must be spending a lot of time in gym. Pretorious and Simelane look like a very good centre pairing hopefully they get front foot ball.

    Lot of it is tactical and confidence. Just trusting themselves, reading the opposition and lifting the tempo.

    Argentina match will be interesting. However, big difference between S15 and test rugby.

    Haven’t seen the Wales team so don’t know how many first choice are in it. Ok if Pumas can do well except for the game against Scotland Happy

    Big talk over here over the yellow card.

    Unfair decision which changed the match is the general feeling.

    Was a harsh call… the Yellow… but the French just fell apart, reduced to absolute rubble, gave up totally!

    Just seen 7s result with SA losing by 2 to Scotland. Must surely be Fiji to be champions. Scotland 7s seem to have been quite inconsistent this year

    @ grootblousmile:
    Thanks looks like a mix and match Wales team especially upfront and on the bench, fairly good starting backline.
