    [2015 RWC] Final: New Zealand vs. Australia (31/10/2015)

    The AB's would have Carter , Richie , Kaino,NOnu , Smith,Woodcock. Those are difficult men to replace . Boks are on the up. That is if they don't replace Meyer . Cheika has done an outstanding job for the wallabies . If both coaches Retain their jobs I see the gap being narrowed.

    [2015 RWC] Final: New Zealand vs. Australia (31/10/2015)

    Pretty ordinary ! C'mon mate. Regarding infringing the rules , the wallabies were continuously pushing it at the breakdown . Who ever referred the game the outcome would have been the same !

    [2015 RWC] Final: New Zealand vs. Australia (31/10/2015)

    The best team in the last 4 years won . Stephen Moore was gracious in defeat . The ref cannot be blamed . AB's dropped their intensity briefly in the second half and paid the price . But otherwise they controlled the game & really should have won comfortably. Congrats to Steve Hansen on relying...

    [2015 RWC] Final: New Zealand vs. Australia (31/10/2015)

    Not sure if I agree with every point on this man on man analysis . It is an interesting way of analyzing the strengths of the teams and going forward on making judgement on who wins . The scrum should be even if the AB's are focused at scrum. Their tactic has been to hook the ball out as soon as...

    [2015 RWC] Final: New Zealand vs. Australia (31/10/2015)

    I hope so ! Inevitably they will be a few turnovers just as in the game against the boks . The AB's not to engineer some turnovers of their own ! Clearly against a loose trio it will not be a good idea to try and run the ball from the 22 as the Argies continuously tried to do.

    [2015 RWC] Semi Final 1: South Africa vs. New Zealand (24/10/2015)

    Barrett is second choice behind cruden . Lima Sapoaga is also in the mix. All 3 scrum halves, Aron smith,TJ& Kerr Barlow .the 2 locks whitlelock & retallick , Dan Coles & the third choice hooker, all wingers and full backs will still be available In short not bad at all. Centre pairing and...

    [2015 RWC] Semi Final 1: South Africa vs. New Zealand (24/10/2015)

    Great Defence by the boks . I did however note that the AB's had opportunities out wide to create one on One. I ll back Milner skudder & Savea to beat any defender one on one. Some of All blacks I'll discipline was forced by South African pressure. To me the scrum woes could be down to...

    [2015 RWC] Semi Final 1: South Africa vs. New Zealand (24/10/2015)

    Luck had nothing to do with it . 2 tries to nil . The boks never looked like scoring .

    [2015 RWC] Semi Final 1: South Africa vs. New Zealand (24/10/2015)

    They didn't play badly but rather the stoic springbok defence ,boks ability to effect turnovers made it difficult for them.

    [2015 RWC] Semi Final 1: South Africa vs. New Zealand (24/10/2015)

    More points should be awarded for tries . If you score two tries to nil it should not be a close game ! Great victory by the AB's!

    [2015 RWC] Semi Final 1: South Africa vs. New Zealand (24/10/2015)

    Accurate analysis. The boks are the best in the business when it comes to up & unders. Do not underestimate their ability to run the ball from deep in their own half. They have more pace in their back line than the AB's. I hope NOnu and smith are defensible aware. Savea had better be able to...

    [2015 RWC] Semi Final 1: South Africa vs. New Zealand (24/10/2015)

    I m getting the jitters too ! If we give them 3 unanswered tries they will drop their heads and end up punching Richie! I m dreaming . These boks won't go easily ! Not buying into their role which began with henycke Meyer that this is the best all black side ever . On the forum I read hints of...

    [2015 RWC] Semi Final 1: South Africa vs. New Zealand (24/10/2015)

    This is a 50:50 game. Psychologically The AB's know what it takes to beat the Springboks. And they can do it in any climatic conditions. On the day it is about execution and composure. If both sides can win their scrums ,lineouts and the breakdowns are evenly contested then the AB's are likely...

    Is there a better big game player than Thierry Dusautoir?

    Here Here! What game was the originator watching ! Dusatoir and Phillip saint Andre must go. Saint Andre was a great centre but he is not a good international coach !!
