Best I have seen them play for a long time

Wales would have a NO chance

Assuming the ABs get through France are going to get totally crushed!

I hope NZ get through, but France are a funny old team.

Watching this you realise how poor England have become as a rugby team.

To be fair the all blacks have chocked on a few occasions.

NZ were very, very impressive.

I don't think the French forwards will sleep well this week...

I thought the Middle Earthers looked, if not beatable, then certainly less imperious than usual. The Aussies definitely made them earn it

They definitely miss Dan Carter, but then, who wouldn't :

Outstanding defensive play by the All Blacks but its disappointing to see that they have abandoned the open play and running the ball that they used to be famous for. Whenever the Aussies tried a bit of that style of play then they started to make headway, but they did not continue long enough.

It seems to be a habit of the threes these days to catch the ball and keep running until they are tackled. If they moved the ball around the field they would be more likely to find a way through the defence. I never saw Nonnu pass the ball once after it was passed to him.

That's because he is enormous and is like a steam train, took several players to bring him down so he is best off charging with the ball. I thought NZ played brilliantly.

Was chatting to an Aussie guy at a party last night. He said Australia beat NZ the last time they played them in the Tri Nations. It was an expansive game in the first half - 20 points to Nil at half time in favour of the Aussies - the Aussie backs ran riot. However, NZ reversed their style of play in the second half and tightened everything up - the end result was Aus winning, but only 23:20.

First NZ try was pretty good. Great offload.

The French are fooked, not even a team of Seb Chabal's is going to help!
