[QUOTE="Nickdnz, post: 287530"] Crap match, wasted my time staying up late to watch it. I wouldn't have even watched the replay with a match like that. People who need to go. Sitivini Sivivatu - Has pace but chooses never to use it, no counter attacking. Ben Smith - Did nothing to prove himself (all be it with little oppertunity) Wyatt Crockett - Cause he got shat on Liam Messam - Cause again he did nothing. Tanerau Latimer - Again did very little to secure a spot. Anthony Boric - Weak scummager, poor work rate. Any Ellis - Nothing special, put himself under pressure alot. Ian Jones - Because on commentating the game afterwards, he kept saying what a great game it was, and how Crockett should be left on. Sky Sports Camera Man - Because the camera was continuiosly pointed at the dumest sh*t when the action was going on. Stuart Dickenson - Because he can't ref for sh*t, dosen't know how to keep a flowing game going, and the basic rules of scrummaging. In my opinion on one has really deserved their spot, and noone got much of a chance except the forwards. Our scrum was raped. Flyn may be the only person who did a decent job, and even Delany didn't impress me. We're now rated the #1 team in the world, however we played poorly. In my honest opinion, we don't deserve the #1 ***le. It may have need a second string team, however we performed like crap, and I'd rate any of the Super 14 teams to have performed better. Italy played well but seemed to have the attitude as to keep the game close and only lose by a little bit. Forward were great, though I thought Sergio Parisse showed some class, however his late tackles that went unoticed by incompetent Dickenson left a bit of a bitter taste. No excuses to our performance though, we played poorly and I can say with a easy degree of saftey that the All Whites took the show for New Zealand this weekend. Italy have shown their improvment but I believe that it highlighted the All Blacks dependence on McCaw and Carter for the RWC. We had better improve with a full strength squad if we are to beat England and more so France. [/QUOTE]
