Blast aka Bill Gray

The critics of Henry and Co (the All Black Coaches) will have to wait till another time as the All Blacks systematically broke Australia's heart and will in a match that showed that well rested players have more in the tank than players who play week in week out.

With Aussie winning a brief respite at the beginning of the game through a try. The All Blacks showed that time was on their side and their scrum totally dominated the rather talked up front row of Australia.

The lineouts were equal but it shows that the AB's are playing things very close to their chest. Eaton proved invaluable. McCaw was just McCaw... just about Mr Perfect.

Muliaina may have been inconspicuous but he did what was expected of him... no where in the game did the name of Mortlock get mentioned... oh apart from kicking where he was only average.

The sin binning of Rocky Elsom just showed the indiscipline of Aussie and the missed tackles mounted. Aussie showed where they were at and so did the All Blacks... The final score tells the tale 32 to 12 to the All Blacks. Comprehensive in anyones books.

Sure their will be the critics but Aussie put their best team on the paddock and New Zealand had a couple of other options. I am sure they will both get better, but the question is... how much?
