interesting article with some good stats companring nz v pom and sa v wal... 


Ford kicking will be vital IMO for poms. Also didnt realise pom 15 so good in attack...

WOW...you'd think that would make them slower...right? No doubt they would turn the 1991 AB's into mulch.

To me it will get down to if the Poms can keep the ball away from the ABs & if they can slow the game down enough. If the ABs score early Poms are in for a long night

JW I get it too.... fair point well made I guess... kicking important for poms and field position.

Thing is ABs can win a game in the blink of an eye - as saffas found out in pool match. Poms better have their sleeves rolled up...

*Hey Razor - just FYI if you ever pop into Pottsville IGA you may bump into a former international rugby ref... had a chat to him this morning and asked if he's missing it... he laughed very hard and said "NO... WAY!"

*For the record he said he'd only watched 2 games of the RWC... lol...
