I wanted to see a lift in intensity when we got the wrecking balls on, and by fuck they have not disappointed.

Well played NZ.
By far the better team.

What will the NH press complain about?
Our "professionalism" and the South African ref turning a blind eye at Eden Park...

Gatland with both team selection and coaching. Expected result
