A weekend where the NH sides have shown up well,wins for England and Ireland,and a brave showing
by Wales.Congratulations to all concerned especially Ireland with only14 men what to expect next.
South Africa a new Coach plus a quota`s problem,with injuries too someone like Elton Jantjes starting
may cause new Problems.For them things can only get better.
England a great victory to add to the 6NS,shows the benefits of accurate Goalkicker,first name on the
teamsheet.
Australia frankly the Cheika Revival rings slightly hollow as nearly every game they have had a Yellow
card advantage.Many injury problems to outscore a team 4 tries to 3 and lose on goalkicks will always
be disappointing.
NZ for the first time since 2008 the Hurricanes back line is now almost totally absent,match went
pretty much to my expectations.
A Brave even brilliant Wales effort for 60 odd minutes,then swept away in a Black Tsunami no
team are fitter than NZ and two of the last three defeats were when NZ ran out of steam.
New NZ team great potential a few key injuries,individual skills there but not yet the combinations
Cane doesn't impress only 14 starts to date,Matt Todd with 31 caps would be well in the mix
by now.Savae and Ioane knocking on the door a consistent goalkicker and NZ are again the
team to beat.
Wales played out of there skins but even with the Wayne Barnes factor were beaten in the end
this was the match to win NZ will get better.

Not a generous piece of praise emack. Wales played ok bu they can still improve though the injury to North is a huge blow. As normal Barnes had a good game. Their, there and they're.

You as usual misinterpret my comments,NZ started as they usually do
first game in a series,show rust.
This is there first Test since the RWC,Wales have played 5 since then
they have injurie problems too.
Of course Wales can and probably will improve BUT this was there best
chance of a win.Before NZ get their combinations settled Ben Smith at
13 for Conrad would be my choice.
Coincidence or not Wayne Barnes usually does something to disadvantage
NZ whenever he`s involved.
THAT doesn't make him a POOR REF and I`ve never said that,many teams
since 2011.
Including Wales in 2014 were maybe the better side over the whole match
than NZ.But lost because NZ played till after the whistle most good sides do.[England 2000-3?].
I will be very surprised if NZ don`t lose at least two this year before they
have a settled.
England in NZ now THAT would be VERY interesting,but Ireland later this
year could well be Irelands first win

I think there s still a great chance for them, bit more composure would have seen it through. You don't have to knock the NH teams all the time. Barnes was good no need to take away from the teams' performances. You hope NZ will be as good with the new guys doubtful they will.
