All Blacks vs Wales Test #2

[taniwharugby]

Fark, ABs 13+ still safe....for now

[Stargazer]

<p>Tamanivalu's kick charged down and then not being able to tackle Davies, who scores a great try.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great defensive work from Barrett again btw.</p>

[Frye]

How does Nisbett and Marshall not know how to pronounce "Davies"???<br><br>
Or do I not know?

[dingo]

<p>I'm not sure Sopanga's (or indeed Cruden's) covering defensive game is as good as BBs now is and that is probably from the time he has spent at fullback.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Carter's was awesome.</p>

<br>
Yeah, sloppy last few minutes here.

[Crash]

<p>love seeing bender attack the line</p>

[Derm McCrum]

Good temp comeback by Wales.

[Tordah]

<p>need that to better the winning margin</p>

<br>
His covering defence is like Cullys, in that his pace gets him in the right place

[JC]

No try to Crotty. 36-22.

[Gunner]

30 minutes of decent rugby was enough to win this one, but god the other 50 minutes were awful.

[Derm McCrum]

Excellent - got my win

[Tordah]

<p>any news on Cruden?</p>

[No Quarter]

Another comfortable win. I'm happy with how we are progressing post the big 4's retirement.

[Mattasaurus]

<p>AB'S Streached out in to 4th gear for 10mins and then eased off.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Job done. Hope AC is ok.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wales just not in the same class</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>Good to see Bender still getting plenty of hands on the ball even playing wing</p>

<p>According to radio he's been taken to hospital.</p>

[sparky]

Great come back from Wales at the end.<br><br>
Nice to win again. But..<br><br>
A mixed bad from the All Blacks tonight. Impressive for 30 minutes, but that's a long way for the 80 minutes high-quality win we crave.

Cruden went in to contact with a couple of Welsh forwards and appeared to go down awkwardly.<br><br>
Referee Jaco Peyper stopped play as Cruden was tended to in the middle of the field.<br><br>
Play did not resume for several minutes while Cruden was taken from the field via medicab.<br><br>
According to Sky TV, <strong>Cruden was taken to Wellington Hospital during the halftime break for precautionary x-rays.</strong></p>
