All Blacks vs Ireland

FT : (22-3)

Rating (1-10)

Tialata : 4. Collapse scrummage. Not effective in backline support.
Keven : 4. Line out loss. Communication breakdown. Is he nervous? i can see a little i guess?
Woodcock : 6. Minus 2 points for punching then sin bin.
Brad : 7. Super performance.
Ali : 9. Superb performance.
Keano : 10. Step aside Jerry Collins!!
Richie : 8. Excellent in controlling the lost line outs. Reset the team in 2nd half.
Rodney : 8. Leave all the dirty work to Rodder.. he ll finish it.
J. Cowan : 1. I thought BK was worst.. but Cowan.. goodness.. so scrappy.. cant imagine why he is in 1st team line up. Weepu plays better as replacement. GH badly needs a good scrumhalf. Worldclass std. Cowan/Weepu wont do. Someone to match Du Preez.
Dan Carter : 6. Minus 2 points for missing the first 2 penalty. Super in few line bursting. Works very well with Nonu.
Nonu : 10. Perfect 10. Attack, defense, tackling, bursting, kicking, everything.. i see Umaga in him. maybe better in few more years.
Conrad : 5. so so.
Joe : 7. Suprisingly, he pass a lot. :) Give him the ball Mils!!
Mils : 8. Superb attacking and coverage. I still wonder why he dont pass to Joe for 2 attacks he did where clearly Joe has open space and maintain to stay wide.

Sivivatu : 7. Quickwitted. He response very well to the game.



O'Driscoll and O'Gara played very well.. All the respects to the Irish.. unfortunately the others were ill-diciplined.

Kapa O' Pango!
