After a bad start we looked shaken, and with NZ in our faces we made error after error. The NZ aura looked alive and well to be honest.

Have now expressed my thoughts on the ‘Rate the NZ Match’ blog.

Don’t understand why teams don’t do themselves justice tho? I think that games can sometimes go through phases whereby 1 team can dominate (&/or helped by some calls or ‘things’ can going their way), but then this can be reversed for periods, as in the 2nd 1/2 today?? Beats me spmetimes.

We didn’t do ourselves justice in that first half as equally as NZ were awesome.

Not got to every reply yet. But, in or out of context, am working on it whilst awaiting Jamie’s 3rd test blog… presumably when he recovers from shell shock.

Maybe that’s why he only scored 1in the 2nd test then.

You know you don’t need to reply to every post, especially by not using the “reply” button so they all appear out of context at the bottom (he said half-ironically)?

Retro comment I know, but you need to go to Specsavers.

I forgot he played the full match. Hope Luanchbury can last at least one half. He did look knackered when he came off last week.
