Irrelevant Blacks

OOoohhhh, I confess I didn't see the game, my daughter just told me they (AB's) won an uninspiring game!

A win is a win and test rugby is often boring anyway, so just assumed!

So controversy reigns again eh, how's Australia's coach doing these days?

Maybe so but personally i dont believe the 2 results would be any different.Bring on the world cup so by losing it at least can be rid (finally) of the 2 wise men and there mindset,hopefully also a few of the teachers pets they seem to drag along with them.

It was stupid.

Yes they played hard, I don't dispute that, yes they had plenty of new players, yes they should have attempted to win the war, not just finish the battle.

I do see your point, definitely, but again, all of this can come back to an abundance of youth and a lack of leadership. This team needs time to grow and the fact that they came so far in the space of a week is testament to their commitment and talent. Cowards they are not. Useless they are not. A little short sited? Maybe a little.

But they were aware of the situation. A drop goal had already been tried and missed. It didnt go dead and the French launched a counter from inside their in goal area. Jeff Wilson once said you can never feel safe against the French until you are more than 14 points ahead. That was quite true tonight, we didnt have to win.

If they were to do something as ridiculous in a Bledisloe match it would be a different story

Goodness me! Couldn't pay me all the money in New Zealand to coach the All Black's. Why are you so cynical? Are you a Police Man?
The All Blacks have played two games this season, they are going to struggle through the TriNations this year in my opinion. But to write our team off, from our own tournament, which is more than 2 years away is a little harsh
