Bit of a rude awakening for Australia Quade Cooper anonymous though barely any quality ball.
South Africa looking ominous to hold onto the World Cup.

Might be worth a small wager on Fiji to win the group with Australia and Wales in

Argentina shooting themselves in the foot, that said the officiating already a let down, NZ were clearly in touch before their 2nd try

Worth watching though.

NZ's attacking speed is insanely quick.

Argentina have put some ferocious hits in but it feels like NZ have worked out how to beat Argentina's defensive system. Argentina have unfortunately been consistently making poor decisions in attack as well

Angus Gardner just isn't an international level referee, NZ are offside thinking the ball is out which Gardener says isn't the case, Moroni picks up the ball and his options are shut off by Savea and Smith being stood in offside positions and he kicks it out on the full, Gardner gives NZ the lineout....

Well that was a very disappointing 1st half from Argentina, looks like New Zealand may have found their form at the right time though

Didn't see it but that's farcical!

I loved the story about the training ground fights but no one would come near him because they were too scared! :smt005

I know it’s one game, but anyone who writes off the All Blacks in the RWC is a fool.
