Agreed. Been out of the game for a while to be fair, but the times when he did fill in at 10 he didnt look that impressive.

The Boks and Oz could find it hard going in Buenos Aires though. They are often difficult to beat over there. It seems the Boks are carrying a few injuries as well - could be interesting. Argentina will probably finish bottom of the pile, but involvement in this competition will bring them on leaps and bounds eventually.

Trying to find the match report on the beeb..no luck so far.

The score is confirmed on the rugby union main page in the NZ Vs Australia title but nothing else.

There's a reasonable report on the Telegraph website, a less accurate one by the Grauniad and of course the NZ media has coverage - try www.nzherald.co.nz

Cant be bothered finding a new thread

I struggle to believe with all the possession the All Blacks had the Wallabies only completed 47 tackles

"The All Blacks made 108 tackles and missed just 10, while the Wallabies missed 21 of their 68 attempts."

I wonder if they mean completed 68 out of 89

Perhaps the smoke signals aint reached kiwiland yet
