Definitely a far better game from the wallabies, back line was going really well despite Cooper, Folau proving how good he is, and yes, the forwards are still soft, although they did improve when Horwill went off.
But how about the AB's v Bokke??....best . Game . Ever.
A great quote from Steve Hansen...
:DQuote:
...he must lift his team to face an Australian side they have beaten twice this year but who are coming off a 54-17 thrashing of Argentina in Rosario last weekend.
"They've been a good side but they've certainly struggled with their confidence,'' Hansen said of the Wallabies.
"This win will have given them an injection and, as we all know, you don't have to give an Aussie too much of an injection for his confidence to start coming out of his mouth.''
C'mon, you made that up, didn't you. At least we talk at the right end, not like some one from Te Ika-a Maui or Te Waipounamu. You may have to ask a real Kiwi what that means, ;):D BobQuote:

Good to be a real kiwi too... ;)
Glad to see you can read, also sad to see you are so desperate to make a point, you go to the lowest denominator. Still , to be expected. Time is on our side, not yours. Think about it. BobQuote:

Time is indeed on the side of anyone who can wait long enough. So is the law of probability... such is life, some days you're the pigeon, some days you are the statue :p ;)
I wish I had said that. Btw, at the moment the Wallabies are the pigeons. Tell you something? :D:twobeers: Back at you, cousin. [ I don't believe I said that], BobQuote:

They scored in the first kickoff. It was great to see the panic in the eyes of the NZ side, but of course, it could not last. The class of the NZ side showed thru. But the pigeons are getting ready for a crapathon. In both forms of the game. BTW, England were very impressive. Bob
I watch as much of Sherlock Holmes as I can. That statement identifies you as of English origin. No real Kiwi I know would say that. Moriarty, we meet again. :D BobQuote:

He's got a plan to beat the AB's...and all other countries of course , by not picking Australians!
11 of the squad are born oversea's...7 in NZ alone!, to be fair though, Anae isn't over there this weekend, must be figuring on getting as many NZ players in on familiarity grounds.
I reckon you'll start seeing the yellow jersey getting ever darker, one day being almost Black.
and yes, NZ also have oversea's born players in the squad to be fair , two of them.
Will be a good game, either way, Kiwi's will win!
