Unlikely it is not on SKY, it is on the BBC which the Outback cannot get. I am sure they show the England v Australia game though, as it is on SKY

What a game! The All Blacks look unstoppable, even when they put a second rate team on the field. Lets just hope they didn't peak too early!

I know what you mean, I was nervous about this tour back in August and now that it is here its is great, as long as we can beat England next week we have every trophy we contended for in the cabinet. What a great year for New Zealand Rugby!!!

..pulled the old black jersey with the Silver Fern out of the car boot the other day ( where I had flung if after the last world cup in disgust)...if the 'B' team can take on Ireland with a result like that...we really might be in with a chance in two years time..

Sadly AB's always seem to throw it away when they meet the French.

Lets talk tournaments, ultimately thats all that counts. Test matches are great for ones ego, but being the team of 2005 means nothing unless AB's win the world cup. Unless of course you count career threatening spear tackles...

How does one game equal always? I don't understand maths anymore. If I remember corrcetly we beat the French to win the World Cup. The only time we "threw" it away was the 99 world cup. Yes it was a bad game but it does not constitute "Always".

Spare tackles - Still have not seen either of the so called Spare Tackles. Will watch the Ireland game tonight to see how bad this one is suppose to have been. I am guessing it is probably that the Irish are just soft and milked the opportunity to try and justify the hoopla after what apparently happened on the Lions tour. Yes O'Driscoll got hurt, yes this is sad, but did the guys mean to cause actual bodily harm to him - No I do not think so.

Go the AB's - let see if this so called new British wrecking machine can stand up to Hayman for a full 90 minutes. The Aussies are down and out at the moment so that really was not a contest for him. The Aussies will be back oneday.

Good going Jason, you felt free to comment without seeing either tackles, the best of BB fightbacks, but at least you admitted you seen neither tackle.

I'm not entirely sure of whether the ABs meant to injure O'Drisscoll, but the tackle was symptomatic of the general level of foul play employed by the AB in the last 24 months. Such consistent infringement was not always necessarily characteristic of the ABs. Normally that sort of stuff was left to the South Africans and lessor teams hoping to ruff the touring side up. The last two spear tackles I've seen have been AB players. Maybe if you manage to see them, then you might actually know what you're talking about.

Anyways as for O'Drisscoll, Woodward made a bigger issue out of it than it should necessarily have been. After that every New Zealander has employed, the same consistent approach as they felt hard done by.

Anyways as I said in my follow up, its world cup performance that counts. England are hardly much to talk about....

Too true... and so far NZ has won it once and France hasn't won it at all... pretty much sums it up really.
