[QUOTE="Aotearoa_, post: 804283, member: 74113"] Congratulations on winning in Australia. Good timing on a lot of things, Aussies first test series together this year, some crucial retirements and England had time together doing the 'slam' before coming out as well. But in all honesty mate, a slam doesn't really impress me. None of those sides other than France and England have beaten the All Blacks and only Wales back in the 50's have, credit to Ireland though, they are a very tough side. But I look back at the year 2008 when we had an average side by AB standards and we did a 'Grand Slam' without conceding a try and all away games, none of the home and away stuff you lads get the luxury of. So yes, high standards. But none the less, congratulations on a successful convincing tour, Eddie Jones knows what he's doing and will continue to improve your team, I'm sure you will be #2 for the next few years. [/QUOTE]
