    Good win by the underdogs who weren't expected to win a single game during the RC.

    Barnes was ignoring the player lying on the ball in the ruck, both teams got away with it, but the All Blacks certainly tested the limits harder.

    Skelton was dumb, but what the hell is he expected to do, when the player isn't clearing the ball in the ruck, it's time to clean him out isn't it? Fair enough, the shoulder wasn't on, but that would have to be penalties both way not an overturn apart from his thuggery in the last couple of weeks.

    Agree re Phipps, after his first kick I was wondering whether White needed the job just for his boot, his slow service wasn't a problem and he seems to be able to pass a ball that doesn't fly like a shot duck.......jeez it'd be nice to have a halfback who has EVERY facet of the game covered like Aaron Smith does.

    Yes, the most insecure sporting nation on Earth won't be able to cope with this.

    I know it's a million-to-one shot, but imagine the reaction if we happen to jag a win at Eden Park next week?

    Short memories Jono, short memories.

    If our forwards don't dominate contact, there isn't a halfback in Australia who can cope at the moment.

    I was certainly one of the doubters but having Gitts back on the paddock from the kicking side definitely changes things.
    What ever Cheika has done with the scrum is fantastic. Must be one of the best scrum performances I've seen for years.
    Some miserable passing in the first half.
    Liked the way the bench is now being used as a weapon and not a trophy hunt.
    Now we have to do it next week! That's going to be tough but is certainly possible!

    Well he is great utility value anyway and he did a more than adequate fill-in job @ 9. Where he really impressed me was on defense. Could make room for an extra lineout option.

    Nic White - you've made retribution. Skelton- paid particular attention, and had to laugh at how he flops over the ruck let alone yet another reverse penalty?! Hooper played his heart out again but this time for once it was actually effectIve, MOM for me. Drew was pretty average seemed to spend more time on dramatics. Gits had a quiet game with a couple of brilliant moments. Beale invisible as usual for the last few minutes. Phipps reverted back to his tantrums (if he could control them he's a much better player). Horwill - invisible for me as well? Fardy not much better seems a shadow of 2 seasons ago. Pocock strong but don't think that 8 works for him. Lineouts- WTF?!!! Overall for me a scrappy game with guys constantly out of position ie wings! Got their shit together sooooo much more second half and overall think they took ABS out of their comfort zone. Not confident on the team but maybe things will come together more and at least ABS seemed less cocky as per previous Pre WorldCup test.

    Liked the way the bench is now being used as a weapon and not a trophy hunt.
    He was smart enough to stick with Mario Ledesma. He's been forwards coach for him pretty much since his Stad Francais days.
    He's got his bench strategy sussed for sure. The last two coaches were pretty hard to fathom with that part of the game.
