The Mighty All Blacks beat a very game Wobblies convincingly today. A lot of counter attacks and of course great intercept tries. Big Brodie showed he's the best lock in the world 


We have one more test against the Ozzies but the build up for the games against the wee Bocks is going well, let's see if the Bocks show improvement against the Argies. It should be a more entertaining game the those against the Lions.

Yes, looks like the All "Backs" sic are rediscovering their mojo. I will watch the game later. 
Maybe New Zealand should field 15 backline players, and no forwards- and just counter the Boks kicking game?

Will it be back to the good old days Just Win...expect Beeno's conferences to increase...haha.

I miss the banter from the "wee Kiwi birds" when the AB's disturbed us, it's coming no doubt.

We certainly are not going to get it all our way for the near future, that's what my head says but I would welcome that to be wrong. That's the strange thing about this game, surprises and far gone conclusions are never constant.

Hopefully the Allblacks vs The Bokke will be as interesting as I think it's going to be...perfect buildup, even with the  Covid crap.

Ha ha good one sharkbok. One myth about the name All Blacks is it was a typo by one of the English journos way back when as you probably know. In recent times the All Black forwards can play like backs and that makes the game entertaining. 
We have to see if the tight 5 can measure up against the Boks and a few other teams though. Of course the Boks field giraffes (PSDT) & imbeciles (wee Eb en) so that'll keep it interesting

Only saw the highlights. As nice as it is to see end-to-end scores, I have to say that the Aus defense looked mighty patchy and those long passes were suicide.

The All Blacks are going to experience the dreaded box kick and half the Duds. 

But while this team looks formidable, much of the game flowed from interceptions and poor lineout defence by the Wallabies.

The AB scrum and particularly the tighthead side looks like a vulnerability to exploit…..if Slipper looks like a power scrummager, the opposition is weak.

I guess you are not talking about emotional IQ lol. and I prefer my forwards to be gnarly Moz, no room for pretty boys in the pack.

JW (at any cost) I heard the wee abs are working hard to change the rule book again.

Not a good sign JW are they saying they can't beat the Mighty Boks under the current laws.

The kiwi bird brain ballerinas want to make rugby resemble touch rugby. 

15 beau bar rats is their ideal team. 

 Hahahahahaha.

Du Toit was seriously missed today - Kwagga just was just not a factor.  

The AB's were very good in all aspects of the game and beat Australia by a massive margin - so congrats to them.

Yes Kwagga is a concern but certainly won't start against abs.

Yes JW, the mighty Brodie is back and naturally from the Chiefs! I understand Eben Itsabutt is right now replaying Brodie’s sprint to the line to score a sensational try and pondering “How an earth could I manage to do that??”…. He can but dream…

Matt Brodie is a flat-track bully. When he plays a real pack, he won't be running around like a beach jog.
