Two things...

First off:Wrlldone to Nzlnd for the win.They showed great character in what turned out to be a war of attrition.But there are some hick ups.One of the major one for me is the McCaw try.How is it legal for a game to continue when one or the other team has a player left injured on the field.Ultimately the defending team is a man down even JM commented on the fact.As it is,Nzland knew it...and capitalised on it by scoring a try.This I feel is a gray area of the game.It opened the door for unfair advantage.That is the one legal issue.Other then that I think the ref was ok...not the best but ok. The other major issue for me is the traveling issue.I have to say,it is annoying to me that we travel so early on in this competition.Almost two months on the road.Three years running...Can anyone tell me why this is.I would like to see the "world champs" travel right from word go.Our boys were visibly knackered.Does it create an unfair advantage?I feel it does.Especially when year in year out its the same thing.But fair play to Nzland.I was wrong in my prediction.To be honest,I like it when I am wrong.

 I do think we did all the travelling last year FA culiminating in the Test at Ellis Park and then a close shave with the French in Paris and the Irish.
