    If I were a psychologist, or half-arsed journalist, I'd come up with some theory about why the All Blacks are so shit in what are pretty much "Exhibition Matches" - and how it means their dominance is in a large part due to "mental strength" or some such.

        Good try, but pretty shoddy defence there.

          @kruse I reckon they've been too busy these last two years with experimenting with new structures.

            Fuck we're just so average. There's no real respect for the Wallabies any more.

            If Australia weren't so shit, we'd lose.

            A weird game, we’ve played poorly at times and defended badly, but will win comfortably.

            So, like a game against Samoa or something then? :fishing_pole:

                        We'll take that.

                        Felt score was kind of flattering to Aus.

                          Nice to win against Aussie again, but the English and Irish coaches are going to watch the tape of this AB performance and think "Is that it?"

                            What a limp end to a limp game... the TMO telling the ref that the game is over.

                              Pretty uninteresting game. We did enough to win without really getting out of 1st gear. Beauden's try the stand-out moment in the match. Not much else to talk about other than the midfield which is past it and unlikely to see us through to the RWC.
