I hope that the game plan used last week will be second nature by next year.

We didn;t break into a sprint last week, we took a confident step forward. lets build towards 15man rugby. Fiji and Oz was infantile rugby, tottering about trying to run and pass like everyone's rose tinted ideal of how rugby should be played and failing in an embarrasing manner. Last saturday was all about the basics mixed with outstanding work ethic. Lets build on that. lets never forget to put that platform in place. the tries vs NZ came without trying too hard and thats the way it should be. the matches vs Fiji and Australia we forced it and just made fools of ourselves. Don't listen to Dewi Morris, don't listen to the media who measure entertainment by the number of tries scored. Get the basics right and the tries will look after themselves.

Argentina maybe not be the same that All Blacks and the Wallabies but will be a great and hard game any way...

"take one of the big 3 out if you dont want to loose 3 in a row, again"- you never know, Argentina could be one of the big three by then......

Make sense, take one of the big 3 out if you dont want to loose 3 in a row, again...

Maybe take out the AB's and bring in Malawi?

And the yearly grind of the All Blacks having to play England on their home turf yet again begins after a nice break from it in World Cup year.

Bring back proper 3 test tours of one country in the NH.

Happy about this, I would even welcome England's summer tour being to NZ even if its a weakened side due to the Lions Tour, we can see how well the Argies have done after playing the top 3 teams in the RC, the more exposure England get against the world's best players the stronger it will make us!!!!!!!!
