[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 559863, member: 24910"] NZ beat USA to go through unbeaten. Just. We played a second string side, and USA impressed with their defense, but I must say there was some stupid play by the NZ side. Neera-Spooner got a yellow card for throwing the ball away after the ball was in touch (directly after the ref told him to just put it down!). Later that half, when down to 6 men we decided to run the ball out from inside our 22 rather than simply putting the ball into touch and re-grouping (this lead to the second USA try). When we did eventually score again, rather than trying to score close to the post and make the conversion easier Neera-Spooner instead ran towards the touchline, making the conversion even more difficult (which we missed!). The next try after that Khan did exactly the same thing. I would call these 'schoolboy errors', but if I saw a schoolboy team making these mistakes I would be embarrassed for them. Ok end of rant. These successive Highlanders losses must be hitting me hard ;) [/QUOTE]
