On New Zealand v Australia (39-10)
Not much to say. The All Blacks clearly dominated this game. 15 turnovers from the Wallabies in the opening 40 minutes led to a half time lead of 11 points to New Zealand. 7 lost lineouuts cranked open that winning lead even further. Wycliff Palu was noticeably absent from the frontline of play in the opening half but came through with some power later on. Tatafu Polota-Nau had a shocker coming in mid way through the second half. Statistics were against us: no team has won three matches in a row in the Bledisloe, it has been 22 years since Australia beat New Zealand at Eden park and seven since we beat New Zealand at their home ground. A few weeks break and then time to take the battle to South Africa.

Rev 17:14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
^ What the fuck?
G'day Westy. Like the write up. Thankfully we busted some stats on Saturday!
Also noticed you've read Slaughterhouse 5, which I did on holiday this month - great book. Favourite quote:
"On the ninth day the hobo died. So it goes. His last words were, 'You think this is bad? This ain't bad.'"
hey Matt,
definitely time to tear em a new one on Saturday. Me, I'm hoping it is used as a run on game for 'Australia B', time to stock up the next squad for the 2009 season. Two wins in SA in a row would be sweet.
Slaughterhouse? It's a great one aye? So much packed into such a short book.
My favourite quote was:
'God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom always to tell the difference.' Among the things Billy Pilgrim could not change were the past, the present, and the future."
keep it coming.
westy - you need to get an RSS feed sorted out so that I know when you post!
