congrats to the All Blacks, i didnt think the boys game was perfect, in fact i thought we were very poor in many areas, lineouts, breakdowns and scrums, but the new laws in the scrums can account for those problems.
but despite what i would call a scrappy perforamnce, our players did shine in other areas and they were shining to the tune of a 47-29 ass whooping.
cruden was awesome last night, masterful class from the 2nd best flyhalf in the world, im sure those saying that toomua was a better flyhalf are feeling damn pretty stupid right now and rightly so, LMAO, :oD
theres a reason why the kiwis were all nonchalant with carters injury, cos IMO theres no flyhlaf better in the world then cruden and carter any one of them for anybody else in the world.
well deserved of the MOTM.
McCaw led the way brilliant considering his gametime before the match, he was far from perfect, but with 20mins of top level rugby under his belt and he still manages 2 pilfers makes the wallabies concede another penalty, scores a try and puts in a solid defensive effort, how can u not be proud of the greatest rugby player to ever play the game.
hansen said it best after the match, he wasnt surprised one bit with McCaws performance, cos those who know him best had a 100% faith he would deliver, and dilver he did.
the scary things is, McCaws only going to get better as he gets more game time under his belt.
luatua did himself and the All Blacks proud, dont know how badly romanos injury is, but should he be out of the equation, we have an equally hard man in luatua ready to jump in.
zero problems with luatua, but when messam is fit, he will tkae back the 6 jersey and rightfully so, or should i say rightfully so against the wallys and Boks, cos i would love to see more of luatua at 6 against the pumas.
our outside backs were dangerous, dagg was a little quiet, but he had many deft touches which contributed to the All Blacks amazing attack.
savea was threatning like a mofo, and the way he turned folau around and then left him for dead, wowsers, o_O
ben smith was awesome and well derserved of that hat trick, i use to call him mr error free most of 2012 and thats a name that almost sums his performance perfectly.
nonu and smith performances like that are why they are the most successful mid filed combo ever in the history of rugby.
aaron smiths fast deliveries from set peices and the breakdown are without equal and it plays a huge role in why the All Blacks backs are so dominant, we didnt get as much ball as the wallies, but the ball we did get was like it was delivered by a sayian using instant transmission.
meke meke effort All Blacks, cant wait for next week when hopefully our error rates are cut down, :o)
GO THE MIGHT MIGHTY ALL BLACKS!!!
