 A nice team with some real strength on the bench.   They have a 23 year old captain leading by example.  I am horrified by the fact that we have a non-productive 37 year old as our captain.   
Wonder what Meyer would come up next?  I have a feeling he will be obstinate and stick with his team of geriatrics.   If that be the case - I think we will find Saturday to be a very long day at office,

wycliff plau should never have made the first test team, especially at the expense of mccalmn who was on the bench and the even more mind boggling higginbotham who wasnt even in the team.
i would even bench productive fardy to have higginbotham in my starting XV, cos higgs IMO has that x factor which very few loosies have.

nice to see nathan charles on  the bench, will be epic for him and his family when he runs onto the field.
but it does come at a price though, with stephen 'rat his own teammates' moore out with injury.

wallabies are really worrying me now, i stand by my comments, the wallabies are the All Blacks number one threat in 2014, followed by england.

and after the All Blacks win the RWC in 2015, just remeber that while some nations chose to rig their fixtures with easy beat teams, the bulk of the All Blacks fixtures were against A grade opponents, our skills were kept razor sharp cos we use only the best of rugby stones from around the world,
