All Blacks vs Wales
-
<p>some betting advice from the lads plox. I am tempted to go Wales +18.5 given how shakey we always are early doors in the international season...I can see us winning but I can also see some handling errors and guys getting things wrong at the breakdown etc limiting the victory margin...any comments?</p>

<p>To be fair, it's just a guy called Andy Howell who believes this - in fact he only wrote it and possibly doesn't believe it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think Read is back to close to his best, Rotated - he's looked much better this Super season than he did last year. I'm afraid I don't watch NH rugby, so I've no idea about Faletau - or many of the other Welsh for that matter. I shall watch this Faletau fellow with interest, though! :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Against the other ABs, I'd give Crotty, Romano and Cane an extra point and given that everyone is now in a three point band (7-9) I'd give half-points to Read and Kaino and probably subtract half points from Moody, Fekitoa and Savea.</p>

<p>Faletau played well here in 2011 in the world cup but wasn't as good as Read. Haven't really seen him play since though</p> -
I wouldn't worry about anything Andy Howell says in the Welsh media, he doesn't have the best reputation over here. <br>
I'm going for a score of :<br>
NZ 36-12 Wales<br>
From a Welsh perspective I hope we can give you a decent run out. Need our big players to step up to the plate & perform. -
<p>thats half the battle, having your big names fronting and firing, helps the other guys follow! </p>

It's on baby!

Cruden striking it well from the tee.

<p>He had the penalty advantage, may as well take a risk.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fantastic first penalty attempt by Cruden, just a bit unlucky to hit the post. Gets his far easier second one though.</p> -
Poor start to the match for B Smith.
-
Also poor read on D from Naholo, didn't need to cover inside just had to stay on his wing.
