All Blacks/ Italy

[98tls]

Not sure who won really,Italians seemed very happy at the end.As for Henrys "dumb" comment at 1/2 timereminds me of a bad workman blames his tools.

Meh. With the notable exception of Isaac Ross, the entire All Black forward pack was missing in action.

On the strength of the last three games, I'd say - going into the Tri-Nations - we're fucked.

We were average tonight. Didnt Ross step up however. Comments made comparing him to an Ali Williams were certainly valid. His open running was much needed go forward.

I still dont think we'll be that far off the pace in the TriNations. Aussie are just as crap as us in my opinion. No use comparing our scores against Italy with Australia's either.

Then again it could do us some good to have our ass handed to us for once. Jesus Christ McAllister had another average outing. For all the Bullshit rules the NZRU come out with, the prerequsit (sp?) to have played in the previous years NPC or Super 14 seems to be one of the better. He clearly isn't at International level. Mind you goin on tonights showing neither is Toeava (that boy couldnt catch a cold) Masaga was average aswell. Mealamu and Ross were the only standouts in the forward pack.

2 differnt typs of games..., one you have to think for yourself... the other you have to try and remember to run forwards.....

[Oakie]

Give the Italians some credit huh. They have a good forward pack, a well organised defense that can tackle pretty well and a game plan that involved kicking the ball into the ABs 22 whenever the got the opportunity.
