All Blacks support play of late is incredible - always someone there. In particular, Read - hitting the ball at pace, a step, a swerve, one-handed offloads timed to perfection. On fire that lad.
This is one of the best All Blacks teams I have seen in recent years - Fully deserving the number 1 rank. Argentina is looking a lot better! Shame they don't play in the super rugby tournament, they should get into the top 5 in the next couple of years
Dont worry Argentina, you guys should be proud of your team this year, they've been superb. Hopefully you can beat those aussies in the last match haha good luck from a NZ supporter.
Well done Argentina I think this year you will either beat the boks or wallabies. Time for beating the ABs will come, not sure when. Much respect from AB fan and Kiwi.
for like 20 games until that england game. But I agree with you about us losing I dont think any new zealaner would be happy with a lose because we expect so much from them, with only losing one game last year and we still talk about how much that loss hurts us. and thats with a new coach who had the job for his first head coaching role as the all blacks coach. Not many supporters can say that about their teams and especially a national team... We're so lucky we're blessed with a team like them
Cane is McCaw's understudy,but the fact that he hasn't played for the ABs lately show he is showing no signs of slowing down.Cruden&Barrett are still no sure fit in Carter's boots but are more than capable of handling other teams on the international stage.Perenara,A Smith,Kerr-Barlow are all AB material.Romano is filling the void Thorn left nicely&Sam Whitelock is only 23,young wingers aplenty,Ardie is looking like he can wear Black soon! We will continue to dominate for many more years mate
Argentina got all blacks on the wrong day, when they're at their world beating best. All credit to argentina though, they have put in a tremendous effort in their first rugby championship and in the next few years will be a serious foe, theyre just oozing with potential.
The mistake of Los Pumas was to change its strategy to a more offensive game, but I think they did not to wear too much in a game that was considered lost from the start, and thus retained for the match against the Wallabies, where there may be a possibility ...
I think you will find a few teams have scored first and may even have lead in the first half. It gives them a false sense of security until the second half when the ABs end up annihilating them. Also the other team starts to run ragged because they cannot keep up with the ABs for the full 80 minutes
Although New Zealand has a lot of polonies and Islanders. I feel that they have become a great asset towards our countries team... We Kiwis, cherish our rugby like a religion, if the players don't stay up to the standards we get them the fuck off the field. But recently in 2013, I feel that we need to lose a lot more. To keep our asses from slacking. Sorry but if Argentina beats us im gonna be fucking furious. SA and AUS im fine with. But if we lose to france or any EUROPE country I"d be pissed
Round ball players ...please take note how Julian Savea celebrates a try. In case you have not recognised it....With total professionalism and humility.
Yeah but it doesn't really matter tbh ... If they're born in NZ or have moved over at a young age with aspirtations of being a all black and have been developed under NZ rugby then of course they're a great asset. Regardless of if they're of Islander, Asain, Maori or european decent. Most reason why the familys move over is to better their life and give more opptunities for their sons, daughters. Also about the loses it could be good .. But if look at the other side we was underfeated
Virtually JW did win it for England, without his kick that sealed the game it could have gone either way. ABs were not lucky to win the RWC, they did not lose one game and deserved their win. They were the best team as they still are. Typical answer from a non-AB supporter
This should be shown to all blacks fans, you don’t need to whinge and groan after every loss and blame it on everything other than just having a poor game.
wow SMH at you. If any argentinians are reading this not all kiwis are like WaiKu3r3, about 1 in 4.4 million kiwis are like him. Apologies and the rest of us 4.4 million kiwis are looking forward to the next 4 nations.
Remember at the world cups since the beginning 1987 until now who have won but SH - boks, wallabies, ABs twice with England only once and their are NH teams that have NEVER beaten the ABs. So I think your argument is invalid
Also the only reason why England won 2004 world cup was because of JW kicking skills. he won it for England, since he has gone, England is shit as they showed at the last world cup
Well then you do not know the history of AB rugby, as you would find they have dominated rugby consistently over any other team for the last 100 years. what do you mean "they are an old team" that is rubbish, they have such great talent in their ranks just waiting to have the honour to play for the ABs, any other team would love to have ABs reserves as their 1st 15. Also the NH will never dominate the SH, they are just too strong and have consistently been too strong.
Argentina is not a "3rd world" country. Argentina has a 98% of population being European decent. Argentina is in the 22nd place in GDP( according to CIA World Fact Book) while New Zealand is 62nd on the same list. New Zealand only has 78% people of European decent. New Zealand and Argentina are high in Human Development Index. So Argentina and New Zealand are almost on par. Are you judging Argentina because you expect South Americans to not be white, the language, or the location?
Ok....in general Rugby player's try celebrations are far more muted than mad soccer player's goals where they rip off their shirts and run around the field for 5 min ,wasting time and insulting the crowd with their so called heroic infantile antics.
I'd bet the all black 3rd tier team could beat most of these teams... Yes mayb afew losses here and there but not by much, Take out Carter BOOM Cruden slips in nicely, Take out Piri weepu BOOM Aaron's your Man, Take out Cory Jane WABAAM Savea's on the Team.. Just look how Ben Smith's been doing This year (2013) One or Two years ago no one Knew who this kid really was.. no look at him. Easy
No way the Aussie commentators are the worst in the world. They are biased and took shit, they never give credit when credits due and they HATE being beaten by the ABs. Rather listen to a kiwi commentating any day over an Aussie
What are you 5 years old? Look how you misspelled Argentina. Argentina will beat the ab's and probably in the next few years. Did you not see them beat Wales? GTFO PLEASE.
