I was unable to see the match - which was just as well - I'd have gone schizophrenic with the cricket playing at the same time.

They are a bit hard to admire as a Rugby team for sure, but they lose all advantages when they play elswhere ( ) for whatever reason.

not wanting to sound like a bad sport , but it's because they are a bunch of inbred Africana,block headed,Neandertal like deer shaggers. Do I sound bitter?

They took BK out within 10mins just like the AB's took BOD in the 1st Lions Test in NZ.What goes O comes O.

It was a close call, the only thing he did wrong was not use his arms.As I said before, it's a tuff game. I didn't hear the All Black coaches going on about it.They took it on the chin...unlike our British and Irish friends.

I cant understand why the All Blacks didnt have Marshall on the bench. Could have made the differance.

All 3 teams are again fairly even and it looks like whoever can win away from home will win the series.

Yes IMO a delliberate stomping by Umaga on Odriscoll. Should have suspended Umaga at least untill after the 2 games against the Wallabies.

Marshall is not contracted to the NZRFU..he plays in England now.

Gavin Coles is an embarrasment to the Referress Union.

No the are just "The All Blacks". Before they wore Adidas apparel they wore Canterbury apparel.That was before the professional era of rugby, but nethertheless, still a commerical endorsement deal. Off the top of my head they have also had commercial endorsements with Steinlager, Ford,Powerade etc.. over the years. I still remember playing rugby at school in my old Canterbury jersey, after that jersey had absorbed 80 minutes of mud and rain it was like wearing a 50 pound lead vest around.
