A nation built on thieves are stealing a lot of ball from NZ.

Shame his touch judges don't see the knock ons and forward passes.

I switch over for 5 mins to check football scores and All Blacks move it from 3-3 to 16-3.

That handling was outstanding.

I went to a talk at my lads school from a former All Black forwards coach a year or so ago.  Interestingly in NZ they play touch until the kids are at least 12 or 13 years of age to develop their handling skills.  Here we go to contact at about 10 years of age and we wonder why we can't do it.

That drop goal wins the World Cup I think.

I must say even though I know nothing about this game that drop goal was brilliant.

Australia looked dead on their feet after 45 minutes, fair play they upped their game and ran it close, Carter was magnificent.

No more McCaw, that's a bonus.

Say what you like about McCaw crossing the line, but he's still a fabulous player. Carter is incredible.

It's like they play a different game to England. I think all English players need to learn to work much much harder.
