[QUOTE="RC, post: 160505"] I only just got around to watching this match tonight and i'm shocked by one thing and one thing alone: - The kiwis attitude. I mean, GB were awesome throughout. We dominated in all areas on the field and regardless of where we got the ball i always felt like we were threatening them. The Kiwis could have had their first tackle in our half and you got the impression nobody felt too worried because the defence was so immense and defusing any attack thrown at them. But the Kiwis started off with some terrible tackling (Peacock should never have gotten over the line in the first few minutes of the game) and as soon as they started growing tired i got the feeling that they didn't want to be in the match. One of the British commentators said, 'Take nothing away from the Kiwis, they've put in a lot of effort.' I'm paraphrasing, but i just couldn't agree with him. In Wales, when you see a team perform like that you say that the team has no "hwyl" which means it just has no spirit and i think that was a key thing. I'm very proud of the British boys though. I refuse to take anything away from them by saying it was a 2nd string NZ squad becuase they put their all into the game, they worked their arses off in defence and attack and when it came to getting the tries they had a precision that makes for not only attractive rugby, but effective rugby.
