Your best 10 is injured alot now and being saved. Cruden, the jury is still out for me and Hansen can't make his mind up on where or how to play Barrett. Those sound like a few issues to me.... f**king amazing that we can stagger to a 14 - 0 record in 2013 with such a key position in such a perilou...

There's a difference. England had a pack to scrum and fall back on and our backrow were still playing very well. Add a great pressure kicker. NZ have a few issues at 10 , no hooker, weakness at prop and the backrow bar Read and Kaino beginning to wilt. Still good enough to dispatch everyone, but th...

I was at Eden Park and behind the goal line directly in line with where Cruden took the tap. It was absolutely the right call IMO. There was a huge amount of space and only a lone English winger covering that space. Yep. I was sitting upper west behind the goal line, just to the left of the posts t...

I don't buy this supposed pace that Lomu had. But the thing is, it's irrelevant. He took a while to wind up, he didn't have the explosive, out of the blocks pace of a Rockothoko, and thats why he wouldn't be as effective. 100m speed really isn't that crucial of often used in rugby, it's 30M speed t...

I am sure someone has already pointed out that had Perenara not come on, the match-winning try would have been A to B to C Smith

What odds would TAB have given on that?

Single handedly took on the All Blacks machine by himself. As in his previous test against the ABs, he has proven to be a dominant force. In 2012, Conrad smith could not contain him. Today, Smith still couldnt handle him, had to have 2 - 3 players tackling him..... and yet he still made the meters....

Kiwias

Everytime we beat someone particularly in the NH by the smallest of margins, the media have a field day talking about the All blacks were playing like crap, rather than talk about how equally crap the opposition was to lose said game. I will never understand this loser mentality that these moral vi...

Kiwias

I rate Lomu; however I've got doubts about this extraordinary pace he supposedly had. He was either often not trying, or he wasn't as fast as all that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbKeWn34Zxc :? Shit bro, last time you posted that clip we had 5 pages of debate on whose fault it was. Jonah was co...

That said, Cleary does have his good moments New Zealand are masters of the resurrection act. As they did against Ireland in November, they once again rolled back the stone and came back from the dead, claiming victory when England were reduced to 14 men, scoring the only try of an absorbing evening...

Eden Park was rocked to its foundations as England came agonisingly close to demolishing New Zealand’s unbeaten 20-year record at their rugby citadel. It may seem trite on D-Day commemorative weekend to speak of handing out medals for gallantry but there was little doubt that the performance of an ...

Why stop at Ali?

Bring Back Buck!!!!!

Has Canada really lost/not won 8 straight against Japan? They looked alright until two defensive lapses in the midfield cost them the game. Thought, however, that the attack was pretty predictable and off the mark. Lots of one-out runners who didn't even have support close by, allowing Japan to at ...

If Owens had waited one or two seconds more it wouldn't have been Smith's try and Kiwias would be saved his blushes.

Eh?

Goromaru slots a final penalty

Is Canada's fitness going to be the problem?
They looked knackered

An apology when you really don't want to apologise

Nice one, Retard K

Japan 14 chases high kick and jumps high, leading with his knees straight into the face of the Canadian player but not looking up for the ball
Could have been a YC but ref gives a penalty only

Try-saving tackle from Leitch on Canada 13

Bloody shame. He is a fine player

Japan totally splinter Canada's scrum
Really f**king ugly

Fujita hurt his arm, looks bad

Kiwias

Canada fudge up the kick off receipt and from teh scrum, Fujita scores out wide after a clean break in midfield

Kiwias

As an AB fan I am not really concerned about individual players. However I am becoming slightly concerned about their form as a team. If you include last November's Ireland game, this was the second test match in a row that; - The ABs have performed well below their usual standard - They have been ...

Arms flailing rather than going in low

Just showed the crowd and one bloke was wearing two pairs of sunglasses, one on his eyes in the normal position and the other on his forehead
WTF?

Yeah everything's just fine. In the ABs last 160 minutes of rugby they were outplayed for 155 minutes by Ireland and England. Despite us boasting the best players in the world. In both games we struggled to score points, in both games we looked slow and lethargic and in both games we were out-muscl...
