Zinny will be a happy bunny McCaw.

A man off is supposed to be an average of 7 points but it's meant to be for the opposing team!!

Better kick from Carter too!

that is not true. 2 years ago bod beat england single handedly when our pack was completely outplayed. last year he did similarly against australia.

i don't think you can say that mccaw has ever won a game for new zealand "single handedly". not when there are players of that quality lining up beside him.

mccaw will be remembered as a great player, but i reckon wilkinson and o'driscoll will be remembered more vividly and that is surely what being a legend is all about.

Sorry I don't agree - I think you are thinking as someone from the NH and Zinny is speaking from the SH.

All Blacks were immense today, they just kept coming back at the Wallabies each time.

You could tell that Australia lost it. They have a fantastic defense but they just didn't use it. Occasionally they would but then a few minutes later it would cease to exist.

Thoughts on the Mitchell send off? Another stupid error and it cost them.

Pocock had a good game though I thought, matching up quite well to McCaw.

I was disappointed that Dagg wasn't on for long mind you the whole of the bench was fantastic anyway.

Zinny.

Wilkinson? What about Dan Carter?, thrice the player Wilkinson ever was yet its commonly accepted in the SH that Richie is more valuable because he is the dominant forward in world rugby.

BOD? an Irish legend, great player for sure, if Richie plays well against Ireland then BOD wont be an issue. There have been centres in the past who've been just as good, there are centres right now in better form than him. Richie has just despatched the 2nd best 7 on the planet, business as usual.

Do you remember what happened in the TNs in 2008?, particularly NZ Vs SA in SA. Just one example. Have you seen what happens to the All Blacks when McCaw isn't there?

Anyway, if you think BOD & Wilko are in Richies league it just goes to show how much you really know about the game. A retarded opinion to be fair.

Cant be arsed arguing this anymore, it isnt an argument, the stats speak for themselves. Wilko & BOD...............pffffft.

The Mickers have obviously learnt nothing from the thrashings we've given them over the last 5 or 6 years, jeez, what more do we need to do to show these buggers?

Ok, but give me the Irish refs we've had recently over bloody Joubert & Kaplan ANYDAY.

None of those offences were worth cards. When a player goes off part of the game dies so they should be dished out only when totally necessary.

Where was McCaw last tri nations then? Particularly from july 25th to august 1st..

Zinny understand this for once, rugby..is..not..the..same..in..other..countries.
New Zealand shows how much even a tiny unimportant country in the middle of nowhere can achieve if they devote themselves as much as they do to a sport. Others are not so devoted.

For the part O'Driscoll played in getting Ireland competitive in the professional era he is most definitely a living legend of the game.
