G'day all,
Anyone have a score prediction of how much New Zealand is going to beat Ireland by?It is shaping up to be the hardest game of the tour.I think that the AB's will have to raise their level of play up a notch to secure a win!Daniel Carter is the MAN ,
cheers,Shay

Showing your true colours there mate. From an ANZAC point of view I hope the All Blacks come out on top.

From an Oz point of view................ well the opposite :-)

The brain says that the green jerseys will win by a narrow margin.

Cheers Bilko,
I won't even mention that little thing that went on last week..bugger it i'm going to anyway...that little 26-16 lesson the French gave you Aussies. :-) Hehehe
Nothing like a little bit of ANZAC humour mate.
To tell you the truth,the green boys only chance of winning is if the AB's bus breaks down on the way to the pitch,hehehe

I think it will be a close game, The irish will be pretty fired up over that "tackle". I just wonder how the Aussies will handle the english though?

dismal performance

A great win this morning to The All Blacks, now on to the English ! !

It was 3:30am that i woke up to watch the game and enjoyed the first half but it got a little bored in the second. All due credit to the boys in black though!

Ireland had alot of chances but it was obvious that they didnt have enough set pieces to overcome the AB defense. The last try was well deserved with the amount of work they put into it.

Im really keen to see what happens to England next week since Graham Henry will be assembling his best squad for it.

morning All...
player depth is what the All Blacks are about and forwards with the ball skills of backs all who support each other. Ierland's ball skills were not bad but they as did Wales both lack the physical power...England should provide stiffer opposition, but I feel AB will have to much pace and power in second phase play..
Aussie just did not have the tight five, no room for nice guys up front, thats the fault of the selectors, Matt Rogers should be kept at 5/8 build around him......
Often been tempted to do some Rugby union figures like Horans base ball figs reckon they just may work....

Phil.......

I really really really really want the AB's to slaughter England but I think it will be a close game.
But I must say it has been great to see Aussie lose 7 yes 7 games in a row. :-)

I still cant get over the fact that Eaton managed to tackle that Irish player who was a winger....a winger taken down by a lock....thats quite a slap in the face. Only thing worse is to be tackled by a prop. They are not exactly build for speed if you know what i mean.
