We will win the Rugby world cup in 2011 with Graham Henry................Yeah right!

There doesn't seem to be much mention about just how good this Bokker outfit is. They are reigning World champs, are playing like it and have some of the toughest mo-fo's going around in world rugby at present. There is no shame in being beaten by a better team, and they are clearly superior, however there is plenty of work to be done. Carter will not be the panacea to all our issues but he will address some pretty important ones. OUr scrum is going well, the lineouts will sort themselves eventually, not too sure about continuing with Rokocoko so there needs to be a decision there. Still, it is not all doom and gloom as most of NZ would suggest. Robbies mob aren't exectly setting the world on fire, yet from over here (Aust) you would think that it is SA on top only by virtue of a kind draw. Lets wait until 22 August to see where the AB's are really at. You gotta have belief.

The ball was out of the scrum!!!!! Yeah right!

You guys need to chill, you don't become a bad side over night, give your boys (AB's) a chance don't right them off just yet, Ill take an outside bet and say your boys still win this thing, have a little more faith in this team you have some of the worlds best players try and be a little more supportive, you all make out if they lose on purpose. I can guarantee the team is hurting and that they going to come back with a vengeance, after all you played a very good SA side in our back yard and were competitive even though the wrong game plan was executed , get the game plan right and results will come your way - the AB's played with a lot of heart and commitment you have to take your hat off, outplayed totally but still had chances to win both games says it all for me. Come on NZ be a little more positive!

#56, 59, 69, and 104 - Amen.

Duncan, this is one of the most idiotic examples of facile guttersnipe journalism I have come across in recent times.

This comment board shows how many fair-weather AB supporters there are in New Zealand. Shame on you all.

And, by the bye, bloody well done Boks. Good luck in Aus.

Hey Guys, Take a good look at your photo of Richie are you sure he's doing the haka, can't see any aggression their, looks more like he's pleading to God to let them win.

I dont know about you other guys but in the gap weeks before we play the Wallabies why dont we have a New Zealand A v the All Blacks game with reputations and form and all the other arguements put on the line. Guys like Liam Messam Adam Thomson Anthony Tuatuvaki would get a chance to prove themselves and the public interest would be high similar to the old trials.It would also help the ABs especially the reserves to find some form in a pressure game. It would also help answer a few questions for Henry and co ahead of time instead of making blunders over selections in crucial tests only to change them the following week eg Brendon Leonard , and many others .Tew and his cronies could even make some money out of it with TV rights .

This team will win the world cup!

Joe 148# We need more small minded redneck New Zealanders

Bet you weren't complaining when Michael Jones and Jonah Lomu were doing the rounds ;)

Don't worry about the abs performance, at least petrol is coming down in price.
