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!

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.

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.

"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.

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.
