There's an International test tonight!! AB's vs Wales.

Well, the hype isn't as much as usual.
I heard some guy on the radio say Mitch has picked the most talented All Blacks side ever..now that's a huge call.

Wales could bite our butts tonight.

With Daniel Carter in the lineup outside Carlos, it can only be good.

On a dry track, we should run away with it. But who knows. The Welsh have passion, something we may be lacking.

Hopefully the ref this week will let the game flow and we'll watch some quality rugby.

AB's by 14.

55-3 in our favour. Bit of a thumping.

We were only 17-3 up at halftime, and I must admit to flicking channels and watching the Manly/Sharks first half, cos when I flicked back to the rugby we were up by 36-3.

From what I saw, Daniel Carter made the difference in the backline, and he scored 20 points on debut.

Brad Thorn also looked good once he came on. The Welsh had no answers once the AB's spread the ball. Rokocoko getting 2 tries was great especially his 2nd try when he charged down a kick behind the line then had the quick reflexes to dive on the ball before it went out.

The AB's needed a good win before playing France next week. I'd say this was a good start tho plenty of stuff to work on.

And to top off the evening, Aussie were beaten by England 25-14

I caught the end of the NZ-Wales game on tv. The AB's were just too talented. The 3N should be interesting - I think the AB's will win it, but I'm still picking England for the WC.
