Yes I think the new scrum laws are an improvement. Some say it favours the more physical scrums. As you know the Springboks are not really shrinking violets in that department. Will see what happens on Saturday.
I fancy our chances but the All Blacks are the All Blacks
Oh well a bridge too far for the springboks. Well done All Blacks
The All Blacks remain the best team in world rugby. Pity these decisions get in the way of a good game
Always amazed how well the All Blacks do for such a small country.
Visited NZ last year and enjoyed Auckland.
Great place and great people.
Looking forward to the next test in SA.
Looking forward to this one - and just hoping the ref is up to it this time. However, SA MUST win with a bonus point - and deny NZ a loser's bonus point - because of the "Red Card" loss last time. A big ask!
On the "good news" front - I read that Alain Rolland is to retire from International refereeing at the end of the season. He was (mostly) okay, I s'pose - except for one very special and infamous straight red-card decision - which ruined a World Cup ( IMO). And not just for me - but for the many friends I have in NZ too.
Goodbye Alain - and NOT Au Revoir, I hope. johnnybach
Great game
Best side won.
Boks look like they are on the up.
So the world cup will be interesting
