@Victor-Meldrew I've been glad that Cane hasn't looked clinically depressed since the loss to Argentina.

The comparison between 2nd half of the French Test last year and this game was stark. Last year they took it up the guts to wrestle the game back but made mistake after mistake which handed momentum back to France
That French team is vastly better than this Welsh team, who finished 5th with one win. Can't compare.

@Victor-Meldrew I do wonder if the biggest change is actually just quality of opposition (sorry Mike)

BTW, a reliable source has said that McLeod also had poor performance reviews last year. For some reason he has escaped scrutiny. I think it's vital that he is replaced in the off-season.
If the NZRFU were in a mood to replace Fozzie's assistants, how the hell did McLeod survive the chop?

@voodoo
I think there are genuine improvements.
Jason Ryan
A front row
Paps
JB 12
SW captainThe technical improvement has been significant in the forwards
Where's RazorWell, I agree with this post, though I'm not really sure what all that has to do with Jordies best attributes being his vision and distribution.
Let's move on I guess.

If Tompkins had been playing in black it would have been close to 100 pts

@Crucial It's amazing how after all these years in the commentary box, they still don't get the rules. I know there have been a lot of law changes over the years to digest, but the "back out of the hand" guideline for determining forward passes has been there for years now.
The commentators know there is a solid fan base for the "if the ball travels forward, it must be a forward pass" and "look at the markings on the field, it clearly went forward" interpretations of the rule and fancy physics be damned.

@Steve What a loser of a sports writer; not worth the title journo if he has to resort to attacking players for off-field issues in the past, instead of - or while - discussing the game. Only purpose seems to be to taint the ABs. Which article was that in?
Wait, ... I don't really want to know.
