Be interesting to see how Joey Carbery gets on.
The ref in the NZ v France game having a shocker. Two kiwi high tackles result in one penalty. It’s time refs got some courage and reffed the abs properly.
That said this is not a good kiwi team.
Yeah two excellent players but have you watch super rugby the last couple of years the quality has dropped. Their front row is not a patch on that 2011 team. Their back row lacks the menace of McCaw read and kaino in their prime. But feel free to believe that their dominance will continue.

Hansen and co wasn’t impressed with Savea in Europe last autumn, they felt he lacked aggression in the tackle nor that he had enough impact. They have an unusual mix of rugby been the only sport that really counts, a good mix of ethnic groups with that huge islander population. Who can challenge them? well there are 4 sides in Europe that are moving in the right direction. The reason being that domestic rugby is pretty good. I’ve enjoyed pro14 more than super rugby for the last two years. The rugby championship is pretty staid and the 6N is getting better.Ardie savea can't even make the starting lineup. That's not a bad bunch of loosies.

Just gonna day that the Aussies fully deserved their win today. Our backs across the board were awful. Henshaw was bad, Aki followed the script to the letter and trucked it up all day. Kearney was unfocused and off.
I thought the officiating in both biz and aus games was poor. I’m perplexed as to why the two kiwis stayed on the pitch and how the tmo and his magic camera can make big decisions?
