Better Rugby Rules

       Smith – try 1 coming ..

      Carter – try 2 coming .. ( and Value up more $$$).

The game was not for back play, so that’s why the above two players were outstanding.

Well done ABs. But I will mention Andy Ellis was too slow in getting the ball cleared, I think he is a better dry player. Jerome Kaino for a number eight in the wet and up against big Irish forwards was not imposing enough. Richie McGaw needs more support.

Brian O’Driscoll was toast, and easily so. Conrad Smith has the goods for the ABs Center job for many years to come.

New rules or old rules, doesnt matter when the Ref is not so good.

The All Blacks’ front row was just about 100 per cent new, yet the forwards, including two other inexperienced Test players, Brad Thorn and Jerome Kaino, dominated a powerful Irish scrum, line-out and the confrontation at the tackle. The All Blacks have also rebuilt their backline and on yesterday’s performance they have got most of it right. Andrew Ellis was tough and intelligent. He will need to lose the habit of running a few paces before passing and his kicking game will have to develop, but his ability to clear the ball, use his loose forwards and make tackles was first class. Ma’a Nonu was perfect at inside centre for the conditions while Conrad Smith and Anthony Tuitavake made almost error-free transitions to the big time.
