Cant remember ever feeling this confident against a Boks side ,
Its almost getting boring playing Australia and SA ,
We need some better opposition ,
This is what happened with Australian league , they got sick of thrashing us , so they came up with State of Origin
No it's not, they came up with SOO because they were sick of NSW thrashing Qld.

@Nepia I was taking the piss a bit , but they were probably sick of thrashing us too
@kiwiinmelb You whooshed me good then.

I agree, it is getting boring.
I'd shelve the 3rd Bledisloe, gets too repetitive. If you can't win 2/2 then you can't take the cup from the holder. We had to do it the hard way in 2003.
Home and away in TRC is fine, but no more than 2x games against the same teams year in, year out.

All Blacks defeating the Wallabies is neither boring or unenjoyable. In 1998 my therapist told me that things would turn around. When I threw a brick through his front window in 2002 yelling liar, he still said it would turn around one day, just wait. So since 2003 I have been at peace and long may it continue

You sure?

Can't see much changing. Main intrigue Todd or Ardie to start. Perhaps Crockett to start? On bench imagine Romano will remain, albeit Squire or Pat T both good options. Slight chnace Squire could be back up for Ardie. Would like to see Sopoaga get a run, but not likely given Shag's Cruden rap at start of week.
Sould know in 30...

Parsons doesn't have 6 caps!
That list is from http://www.allblacks.com/News/29782/all-blacks-team-named-for-test-against-south-africa

This is all very easily answered by common sense.
Why would Parsons be on the bench if Taylor is available?
Ergo Taylor is on the bench.
