Carter in/Mortlock out gives NZ a slight advantage.

Logged in from my laptop, site a bit slow. Lovely day in Cape Town to be sitting on the couch watching rugby.
@Supa Die Bloubul –
Ek wag…..en soek intussen ook.
Which version of their tribal dance will the sheep shaggers perform?
My wife says that De Malmanche must be a good player because he is so ugly he can’t be in the team for his looks.
Gotto love the Haka! Awesome.
