@ nga puhi:70 – nga, Have to agree a much better game to watch than last week. Closer as we all thought. Only one try in it so should be a cracker in the 2nd half.
OK folks…. this half we talk up a storm here… agreed??
@ grootblousmile:
Apparently the All Black backline spoke to the groundsmen before kick off and asked them to cut the grass a bit shorter – they reckon the Aussie backs planned on hiding in the long grass!!!
