BigB69, history will show the ref had a poor game against the frogs in 07, that is a given, but I feel the ABs coaches had started to believe they were invincible, Aaron Major in the stands in a suit was nuts..
Cant help but feel they were developing the same issue recently, but the loss in Brisbane will have put that arrogance to rest...
And hopefully the ABs and coaching staff will be better for it, Kieran Read remains a major concearn though..

Sour grapes still and of course NZ never get away with any trangressions in any match Now what did they pioneer in in the early 90s oh yes slow runningback so there was always a blackshirt stopping teams passing quick ball then it was laying over the ball how many times has a AB got away with that forward passes NZ have never been given a try from a forward pass have they ..The fact is every team has had its fair share of non decisions or poor decisions going their way stop whinging about ancient history its silly irrevalant and makes kiwi supporters look unsportman like
As to the article i belive the ABs are better prepard certinaly look a more cohesive unit now than in 07 .But still beatable no team is unbeatable and i think thats what got the kiwi supporters worried

At least this time its looks like they WONT be playing a fullback at outside centre... for the first time since '95. Got to be a good thing.

Actually the change has been a simple one:
1. Obtain a Plan B
2. Figure out when to use it
3. When those circumstances arise, use it!
Now, do the All Blacks have a Plan C?
