Why does Stephen jones continually critisize New Zealand rugby? We are trying to play positively but when we play a negative team like England it is a boring game and I think England has to take the majority of the blame for that.
Looking at the results over the weekend between the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, the North scored a total of no tries. I think (apologies if I am mistaken, this is just off the top of my head) the last time the All Blacks did not score a try in a test match was in 1993.
Steve Jones has gotta sell papers. Believe it or not there are Kiwi bashers in this world ! Somtimes hes right and sometimes hes wrong. thanks for reading

Hello, Great blog. I was wondering, as you are NZ based, if you or your readers could help my blog out with this story: http://theeastterrace.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/03/things-we-misspart-one.html
It’s about the classic Adidas ball used in NZ many moons ago.
Hope you can help.
Cheers, James
