50 point win, anything less and I won't be happy.

All Blacks by 60
Hopefully showing cohesion and a strong forward pack.
Wow, Roigard scores his second try and he's barely played.
Abs playing in their 22 and of course there is a penalty.
Well got the start we wanted.
Sti) not reading to much into a big win in this game. Agree just win, need to show some cohesion and some smart rugby.
Roigard for his second in this game and 3rd as an AB. Scrum looked really good!
It's Namibia, you should win by a 100...
Smart play from Roigard nice dummy
LF is a threat if he's any where near the ball!
Roigard is a poser...
True Draad but the way we have been playing I will take 50
The sooner fozzie fucks off the better as far as I am concerned
Pity we probably gonna get you in the quarters...would have preferred a Bok/Allblacks final.
Good maul
I think Maties 1st XV will probably put 20 on Namibia...
Another technical problem in the lineout.
Sorry to see a bad injury.
DMac kicks arse!
Wow! LF is a powerful guy with good moves!
Slowing the game down, the usual tactic.
Great skills from ALB
mmm...not everybody plays it luke NZ likes to believe it should be played...and if you can't prevent Namibia from slowing things down, you've got problems...as NZ scores!
Who said roigard looks like he has lead boots?
Nice try that
Roiguard making a good break and McK takes it over for a try
Nice try DMac...Roigard getting away with too much...
All Blacks looking good.
Yes it's only Namibia but they are playing with great accuracy in difficult conditions.
Think they'll get close to 100 here.
No point to this game
Namibia and Romania don’t belong in this comp
USA and Canada would have been better opponents
Last week when he scored his try some said he was slow. He certainly has a quick brain. lol
Considering the conditions we are showing good hands but like you say it's only Namibia not reading to much into this.
"USA and Canada would have been better opponents"
Then they should qualify next time.
"He certainly has a quick brain. lol"
Not too sure about that...are we?
"Considering the conditions we are showing good hands but like you say it's only Namibia not reading to much into this."
Bit harsh on players like Fainganuku (sp?), Roigard and DMac who are all having blinders and could have played their way into the A team if it was against a stronger team.
PS, he's probably better than I give him credit for...he's certainly got a nose for the try line...but I just don't see the "next big thing" angle...sorry.
ABs are practicing getting the ball out wide and it's working thru kicks and skip passes but they don't have the pressure they will get from the top teams.
Roigard is on steroids.
Yes, the All Blacks are using the kick pass to catch the Namibians out of position.
Good to see we have some real talent coming through at 9, Roigard and Hotham look like good replacements for Smiths.
Pity Fainganuku is off to France he has a big future in the ABS. Thankfully he only signed a 18 month contract. Expect him back in 2025
Ja, the Desert Yarpies aren't a real measure...lots of heart, but not really top tier...still the score is lower than I would have guessed before the match.
I think the ABs have to find a way to get Fainga'anuku on the field with the first team. He's got it all.
We really need to stop giving away penalties, esp in their own half.
Well you have your 50 Cruz.
Good score!
After watch this preformance from Namibia I am uping that to 80 lol
Here's for hoping Nam can score 1 try...
Roigard is not slow, it was the conclusion I reached watching him score that try against the Boks
He is big for a 9, not nippy but looks handy
Bloody hope not
poser...
Without a good 9 and 10 any team will struggle, think we have got enough talent at 9, 10 is a major concern going forward.
...damn!!
Whats the verdict on de groots yellow/ red. Went to the bog and missed it
A try here will taste like victory...
probably red by the way things are going these days... not ideal...
damn!!
good try, but NZ should put 100 on Nam every day of the week.
another horse shit red.
Let's hope the red card doesn't keep him out of two may games.
Well, no injuries but the red card is like having an injury.
Apart from the red (still waiting to see it) I will take that
ABs don't need him before qters

Abs need to play more in the oppositions half. When they don't the good team will punish them with penalty kicks. 12 penalties is way to high also.
12 penalties is way to high also.
llongstanding AB flaw
So the Rhoid had a good game?
Ahem, roid had a great game??
Yes when you have fair refs the ab penalty count always jumps! 
Unfortunately they used to get away with murder in the Rugby Championshion.
As usual Beeno tries to have the last word Don't know what you are talking about.
