[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1008578, member: 65365"] “One of those games that the all blacks never look like losing but don’t pull away.“ .

The pumas will turn up, but I don’t think we can expect them to be accurate. So much if it is mental though, and I’m not sure how prepared the all blacks will be in that respect. [/QUOTE]
