[why jelly]

Says it all :big_boss:

[TOMO]

of course missing the line outs , and getting pushed around in the scrum had nowt to do with the loss.

and if that no 4 forgot his name, kept running from the word go hed have got the try, but he lost belief :thumbs:

and i gotta say that no 13 try nz that was dissalowed looked like a try to me, especialy from the camera angle up the field

[why jelly]

so in the end then Tomo Wales were stuffed ?

[dso88]

wales were not stuffed thats all new zealand done was dive ovder rucks and kill the ball they was trying everything to slow the ball down yes it worked because the ref had a labrador and a white stick what has happend to the standard of referees absolutly shocking

We missed Adam Jones,Mike Philips and Lee Byrne today , thought Paul James didnt have a bad game ,and the other prop Gethin Jenkins is showing everyone the way props have got to work in this new era of fast running rugby he was awesome today . Shame we didnt win but did anyone really expect us to ?

[oggy808]

i did not think wales played to bad yes wales missed a few players but new zealand are missing a few decent players to the likes of chris jack , carl haymen awesome player hopefully these lads return for the world cup

The northern hemisphere teams should learn to start playing the ref a bit, New Zealand have been masters of it for years.


Not bitter, just an observation! :whistling: That was the worst NZ team I've seen for a very long time, if we were ever going to beat them, then it should have been on Saturday. New Zealand have stood still in recent years, while most teams have caught up. It's a huge compliment to NZ though, that even now they take some beating. :yes:

fair to say the all blacks are no longer happy to be playing the best team between world cups and are doing well by breaking in new players who will hopefully mature to make an impact.
south africa and it's new style of kicking a game to death makes for boring rugby but it works bloody well.

Nothing new about it mate, England used it to great effect with their their world cup winning side. :yes: I can't stand seeing a kicking game, IMO there's no better sight in sport than watching a team rip another to shreds with clever, fast running and quick hands. :thumbs:
