[QUOTE="shtove, post: 142755"] Little premature mate. NZ have always been ruthless in destroying inferior opposition. Italy like so many NH teams in the past shot themselves in the foot by playing AB's the myth not AB's the team. The NZ's are human like all the other teams. If you apply pressure and cut down there time and space they'll make mistakes. Italy are a lot better team then they showed today. They were completely passive and awestruck. The Aussies and SA's will at least not die wondering. Their so used to playing NZ that don't by into the myth. In saying that NZ looked really good. Very tight, lots a pace and fewer unforced errors then they've been making lately. Someones going to have to play at the peak of their powers to beat them. Their are still some teams cappable of doing it if they rip in. [/b][/quote] Yeah, fair enough - SA and Aus will make it a different game. And maybe Ireland will have the balls to maintain NH honour. Inferior opposition is Japan or Namibia. But Italy are a good side that know their strengths, and the ABs just squashed them by rolling out of bed. Maybe Scotland will bring their full back to the game and let us see how the ABs cope with having to win a match in the second half. [/QUOTE]
