One AB try in Sydney...

... will be the 100th consecutive test they have scored a try in.
The next best is Fiji with 50.

really- thats impressive..

Do you know mate when was the last time we didn't? I remember a very tense low scoring match in Brisbane when I don't think we scored.

That'd be 2006 Kia but IIRC Joe Rokocoko scored that night....

I think we're looking at the 12-6 win over Australia in 2002 at ChCh are we not?

Ah yeah that rings a bell mintie. Joe was making his comeback and scored in the first half and we hung on. Don't remember that game at all in ChCh. And I would've been living in Christchurch then. Must have drunk myself silly. That's a seriously long time.

I see Australia has gone for a defensive team to contain the ABs. I do think they stand a good chance if they can get it right and apply pressure particularly in the centres. But if it all goes wrong and we get early points then they'll struggle big time to score. I think they scored 4 tries in total against Wales.

So 100th consecutive test scoring a try. I guess it doesn't matter how many you score in a test so long as you score one. But it'd be interesting to get an average over those 100 tests.

Dunno if you saw it Kia but another interesting stat was shown during game last nite.
ABs have won 102 out of 106 when leading at halftime.
Not a bad stat to have on your side.

Gunner I saw that stat, one of the best i have seen in a long time!

Nah didn't see that mate. But that stat is intimidating! Hong Kong was probably one of the four.

The RWC semi in 99 but I shudder bringing that one up.

and the '07 quarter final...

Had buried that one deep down but yes you're right dallym!

Saw some interesting stats. DC has scored 17 points in his last 3 tests. Richie will have his 100th starting test which is a record for a flanker and Mealamu's 95th cap includes 80 victories which looks odds on to go up to 81.
