    “When the going gets Tough,
    the Tough get going”.

    Well,…………………………….. the Aussies showed they have heart and talent. Plenty of both were on display today.
    I feel for Bernie Foley. Hit the posts 3 times. Must be a first in International Rugby …………………surely.
    My Wallaby of the Match……………………………Genia…………………………….narrowly from Folau.
    A bit of work to do on their scrum before they meet SA and The Puma’s, both usually very strong in the dark arts.

    As for my All Blacks. Yes we are beatable. As Australia showed today.
    But……………………………………and there is always a BUT, isn’t there…………………………. This is still a very very good All Black Side.
    To come from 17-0 down was great fightback.
    My All Black MOTM ………………………..Capt Kieran Read. With high praise for Reiko Ioane.

    One of the most entertaining Test Matches ever.
