Spot on It's actually because I'm doing the most boring reading in the world, it's frustrating me, so I annoy other people to make myself feel better.
Fiery over the last few pages = I cbf going down to town for the game on Sunday, will probably just go to a bar and watch it with some mates.
Exactly. I was raging hard at the TV as it was shocking refereeing, but that's the breakdown/ruck in rugby for you; the best loosies are those that read how much the ref will let them get away with and work within it. Can't fault Pocock at all, and you have to recognise that he had an immense game.
Definitely. Not as good as McCaw at his peak, but definitely better than McCaw right now. Pocock could get heaps better too.
Yeah, McCaw just doesn't seem as "mobile" (is that the right word?) as he was a few years back. Various injuries have really began to take a toll on his body.
Sporting gesture from France. http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/5771983/France-to-cede-final-jersey-rights-to-All-Blacks
Yeah, skill-wise, Pocock is definitely the best in the world. I still think McCaw offers more to his team due to his leadership and presence, though.
Wait, what? Why is NZ not automatically the home team? It makes sense if they tossed for it if it was two neutral teams, but come on, NZ is hosting this tournament.
