Aussies v Welsh was an epic game. Would've taken a lot from both sides - we have Folau & Pocock with injuries.
I'm thinking that Phipps has to play the full match. Genia as backup in case of injury only.
Because that's what they do.... The All Blacks and the british rugby media have always had a prickly relationship.why are the poms slating the ABs ?
I haven't had a chance to watch the game but I've heard that the Wallabies were very courageous.
You gotta ask some serious question of the Welsh.... They couldn't beat Australia with all those things in there favour... They won't be winning this tournament.
As a side note... I'm loving everyone lay in to the All Blacks.
The English media especially have anointed Australia the team to beat.... I think we are building just nicely.
The main goal was to get through the group stage with minimal injuries and bullets in the chamber.... We've lost Tony Woodcock which is s big one... But we have depth at tight head.
