I got up at six o’clock this morning to watch the second game in the Bledisloe Cup series between Australia and New Zealand. The All Blacks are a tough team to beat and they proved their worth in the first half by running in 7 tries against the Wallabies 3.
What makes the All Blacks so formidable is their speed of ball in hand and their ability to offload in the tackle. Of course they have a slew of quality rugby players such as Jordan, Ioane and McKenzie, not forgetting the Barret brothers, but it is their performance as a cohesive team with strength in backs and forwards that wins them internationals.
