as predicted, the australians fell to pieces once the breakdowns were refereed and they were killed ruthlessly by the AB, who had power at scrum and breakdown. Passing, catching, tackling and positional play were all tremendous and there were no weak links in any position. Special mention to Cruden who showed none of the nerves seen in Cooper, who was hyped as public enemy No1 in New Zealand by the wallaby loudmouth James Horwill
The All Blacks have unceremoniously booted the wallabies out of the WC, who shouldn't have been in the semis in the first place. Now, bring on the repeat of 1987 final, wouldn't be surprised with a different outcome.
keeping things light, and in the interest of punters here who may not be familiar with the game, here's the rules on how to play rugby........ and of course the AB celebrate again
