Our attacking play was good but I'm worried over our defensive abilities with the All Blacks coming to town this weekend!

I'll be shouting the lads along though and no doubt be having a pint or two as well.

If we play to our potential and our defensive game is there then we have an outside chance, but if we give them space and make too many errors in key areas then we'll be hammered by the best on the planet at the moment.

They took the French to the cleaners for sure.

We gave away too many penalties.




And it was 26...apologies.

Too true. I have no doubt that when we get the ball, we will be dangerous and score some tries. Getting the ball from NZ is another thing though. Their flankers will overpower Martyn Williams & Jonathan Thomas, leaving us fighting for scraps.

We made mistakes and gave away penalties against Canada, we will be forced into giving away far more against NZ, who won't waste their opportunitues.

Still looking forward to a good, open game though. All we can do is play to our strengths and run at them.

Agreed.

I hope we at least stay within touching distance of them for 80% of the game then we have a chance of getting the WIN!! That would be something eh ? If we let in points early then I cant see us beating them ... anyway win or lose the real purpose of these games is as a build up to next yr World Cup.

I live in Oz and the last Wales game I saw was v NZ at the 2003 World Cup in Sydney ... I went along expecting a hammering and jeez at one point I though we were gonna get the win ... it was one of the better games of that WC... & I also think that game was a turning point in Welsh rugby after many false starts ..

[Rocket]

26-25 NZ in the autumn tests before we won the grand slam, but i agree, that world cup was the start of it.

[Taffy]

I see that Graham Henry's made 7 changes to the side that beat France at the weekend.

Carter and Kelleher are in, and so is Rico Gear on the wing (who scored a hat-trick of tries the last time we played them) along with Sivivatu on the other wing. It's still a very good side, but I've a feeling that if we hold them in the first 20 then we'll have a chance if we manage to keep it tight.

I now have a lucky hat, which has been worn at the MS for all three matches in NOV, suffice to say it will be worn tomorrow, I'm hoping for 4 in a row ....

[chewyuk]

Really looking forward to tomorrow. I know it;s nothing more than blind faith, but I think we might just do it.... Please please please.

and there goes my lucky hat ---- bollox

If every fan in the ground had worn a lucky hat we still wouldn't have got close to them!
