Wales robbed by evil All Blacks after history repeats

[matt]

So BOD scores with the last move of the game to grab a draw for the plucky Oirish. Not a great game and a draw probably a fair result with both teams enjoying periods of dominance although perhaps the Aussies will feel they should have been further ahead going into the last 10 minutes.

England absolutely shocking against Argentina - they seem to be going backwards under Martin Johnson. ABs to win at a canter this weekend.

Toss up between that game and the Scottish one for worst game of the weekend. Scotland's old Achilles heel of lacking creativity was to the fore again but they did enough to beat a limited Fijian side.

As for Wales, we were holding on in the last five minutes but to be honest we butchered so many try scoring opportunities before then we should have been 30 or 40 points up by that time. Still there were a load of youngsters playing and, interception pass aside, Biggar had a pretty good game and in the last year is already looking like the natural successor to Stephen Jones at fly half and seems a much more natural 10 than James Hook. Good performance by Martyn Williams' likely successor too, young Sam Warburton although he'll be having nightmares about that dropped pass when the line was at his mercy.
The amount of line breaks we created was encouraging but we're going to need to start finishing some of them off soon before it becomes a monkey on our back.
