Ok, i'll put my hand up and apologise to the All Black coaches... they obviously have a well defined plan going into the RWC... and I'll try and restrain myself until the RWC.
Congratulations All Blacks!! Some silly play but held their composure.

Keep the 15 teams but do away with the skewed conference system and flawed finals placings. Play each once and top 8 go through based on merit and quarter finals go to top 4.

Ben Smith needs a break. We play him every test. Don't forget that he had a decent sabbatical at the start of the year. That was my thinking too.
