All Blacks 10 / 5 Pumas
The Blacks make it look so easy.
All Blacks scrum penalty, in their own half
Try Cory Jane… very well worked by the whole Blacks side
Blacks look in full control and score another well executed try. Suddenly the Pumas are completely out of this game. Abs have just gone up a gear that the Pumas don’t have.
All Blacks 17 / 5 Pumas
Come on Pumas!
Pumas penalty…. and another shot at goal
Will the Pumas be able to come back or have they been blown away?
All Blacks 17 / 8 Pumas
Ok, Pumas pull 3 points back. Now a 9 point NZ lead. Pumas need a drop goal or 2…
Fark, All Blacks gets a kickable penalty straight away…
Over
All Blacks 20 / 8 Pumas
And Carter cancels out the previous 3 to put the Blacks 12points in front once again.
Try Julian Savea…. against the run of play
Flok, Flok flok, loose pass and Savea kicks ahead and chases the ball down to score.
All Blacks 25 / 8 Pumas
Was hoping the Blacks would not score 4 tries but now that seems inevitable. This is heading for a big score unfortunately.
All Blacks only need one more try for their bonus point
47 @ The_Young_Turk:
Yip, they should at least get their 4 tries…
Oh damn, All Blacks penalty and a long shot at goal…. just short
Carter misses his kick to keep the gap at 17 points.
Romano bleeding for the All Black cause
Bonus point try… Savea again
Nonu causing havoc, just too strong for the Pumas and the Blacks score their 4th and bonus point before half time.
All Blacks 32 / 8 Pumas
Lemoenetyd
Game over by half time and here we were hoping the Blacks would struggle. Shyte, the Boks are going to have a tough match next week.
Phweeew…. frenetic stuff…. and the All Blacks have worked out the Pumas defensive patterns
If this AB team is only finding form now, the Bokke are in for it big time. The Boks still need to up their game a lot from to taday’s performance to beat NZ.
57 @ The_Young_Turk:
Carter makes a massive difference in New Zealand’s attacking effectiveness
@ grootblousmile:
So you are saying “we need to get Carter”? Where’s dean when we need him 😉
2nd Half ON!
