Far be it for me to call it the greatest league test match of them all, but the Sydney Daily Telegraph did just that.
The key point is that regardless of the result (I’m only saying that because we lost), the real point was:
But right from the first moment [of the series], Australia, New Zealand and [...]

1. The Welsh are the village idiots of world rugby, apparently.
2. Stephen Jones, the Times rugby scribe, is Welsh.
3. I draw no conclusions but leave the rest up to you.

As they say, all of a sudden … nothing happened.
Normally the crowd starts booing when the AB’s start the haka.
This morning, the non-performance of the haka caused the crowd to start booing.
You can’t win – it’s just like being married! [Let's hope the Domestic CEO isn't checking my blog these days!]
There’s some validity in the [...]

It must be true because the Guardian says so!
Mind you, it must be some relief that the AB’s only cheat in three areas of the game:
breakdown
scrums
and the midfield
Strangely, they’ve forgotten to add that the NZRFU has special agents with nets trawling through the South Pacific dragging innocent brown bro’s off the streets (I think they [...]

Jeez Wayne! I wish I’d written this: England in a spin as All Blacks lead the revolution.
Funnily enough – ha ha ha – it picks up on the point I’d made a couple of days ago about the AB’s ability to counter punch.
However, as the article notes, there’s a massive difference between good intentions and [...]

OK, very immature title but I’m not the one talking about silk pyjamas.
It still worries me, the Aussies losing all these games.
It only takes one game and those green and gold pyjamas could sneak a win against the Men in Black (note – uniform, not pyjamas).
Twelve months out, I’d even feel a little happier if [...]

Tony Veitch’s on Radio Sport managed to make a cerebral point without actually thinking about it.
Talking about the AB’s he said something alone the lines that “the All Blacks’ best form of attack is their counter attack”.
When you think about it without really thinking about it (not that that is worth thinking about!!), it seems [...]

I doubt that I will get much support out there, but wasn’t the second test against the Froggies (or as they are better known: cheese eating surrender monkeys) BORING??
OK, so accuse me of heresy or being somehow a commie reactionary lefto Nazi. Or something like that.
But the game never reached any heights unless you dream [...]

Oh dear, how sad, England won the World Cup and are now officially crap.
The Guardian (I spend too much time reading news web sites) analyses the slow decay in full in this article.
There is a particular message for New Zealanders tho:
Best insists that “the rebuilding process should have begun the day after we became world [...]

Yet another example of life being stranger than fiction (actually, there’s a lot of good Split Enz titles with a sports twist … I See Red, Six Months in Leaky Boat (about the Knights)).
Anyway, I digress.
You can now get flavoured golf tees. You know, so you can suck on them.
I don’t need flavoured tees because [...]
