If Payne and SOB are struggling they need to own up. Need a great bench these days. Earles will only last so long anyway.

What's the story with Seanie?

Irish but Australia are on another level lately can't see it

Quin has a point Salvatore! The quality of performance depends on the quality of the environment you play in.if the system in in decline it eventually effects the individual team. our own coaches said that.i wandering what you think NZ were doing in Chicago? .5% of all sporting athletes make it to professional level in the USA. That's an awful lot of talent that could end up in a union system. Also, players won't data in NZ for the glory of it. It's all ready started.people have been saying this for years, they will eventually go where the money is. When the union system gets going properly in the US it will be massive and even Europe will struggle to keep players. we need to do something about it now before its too late.

Very poor choice of referee for another big international rugby match.

The main possession area will be with the Irish they're second row is key to success along with a couple of plays to Payne Ireland will run the wallabies into the dirt as long as they play the ball and don't kick it, they will play the ball between the fords crushing the Aussies defence

Mate you have no idea what you're talking about. Australia and South Africa are on the decline but not NZ. We're not the perfect team and yes will lose some games, that's fine and good for the game, we're also not going to remain no.1 ranked forever. But the skill of NZ rugby is unmatched, and the depth and environment that the all blacks have now is also unmatched. England are a good side but I don't think they're better than the all blacks and I can't see NZ losing their dominance anytime soon to be honest. We played a great Irish side who may well beat England too. One loss doesn't mean we're on the decline and you're ignorant to think that. Also, our players who are over seas are near retirement, they go to NH to earn the big bucks before they throw the towel in, do you see any of our all blacks or future all blacks over there? No. because playing for the all blacks is worth far far more to a kiwi that earning a lot of money and playing for some NH club.

Agreed Chris.

We lost to New Zealand because they are better than us we aren't number 1 but we definitely fancy our chances in 6n 2017

Can't wait for England to lose they be great but not 19 wins in a row great
