When you lose by 5 and only play 40 mins of rugby.......

Alot to work on, but i'm not too worried, this will be just the wake up call they needed.

In some ways I would rather they had that loss, than caned the Aussies. Every other time we have won the 3N leading into the RWC, so lets try the other option

Wallabies deserved to win, purely because they actually sent their best teams out for this competition. Its ridiculous both SA and NZ can send B teams out, and nobody cares. Only silver lining i see from this game, is henry will finally drop guildford/jane, and start playing their two best utility backs (toeava and dagg). I mean if they continue to persist with playing nonu and smith in the centres, and forcing DC to be the only kicker, atleast have the option of having other guys being able to slot into second five, when they are on defense.

Argh this couldn't have happened at a worse time! I had earlier this week agreed to help an Australian with his computer, and now I'm going to have to sit there wanting to knockout the teeth of his shit-eating grin. Bastards!

Beautiful game plan from the All Blacks, deliberatly hold off on all aspects of the game in the 1st half so we could practice our ability to come back in the second. Then let them through for a try to take the game leaving the Aussies with a false sense of security and hope for the RWC. A masterstroke by the three wise men, and our captain, and our mole MR Deans in the middle of the aussie camp. Bring on the RWC.

The All Blacks will beat Tonga in the opening match, but will get slammed and lose possibly 3 players for the rest of the RWC. We will just lose to France but make it through pool play to fall in the quarter finals due to, mainly, lack of covering players, a large injury list and a rigid game, not helped by a skipper who can't motivate his team.

G'day, I'm Ken Ring.

"In 2009 the International Rugby Board tried to stop volunteers from wearing a silver fern at the Rugby World Cup, as they believe the emblem belongs only to the All Blacks."

I'd have liked to see them change the game plan on the field in the first half, when it was obvious to everyone else in NZ that it wasn't working too well.

It reminded me too much of that drop kick they never took.

They couldn't have changed a flat tyre in the 1st half.

They must of gotten a huge fucking serve at halftime. Was a disgraceful 1st half.

Anyone going? I'm seeing the SA V Wales game on Sunday, must admit, finally I am getting into it.
