All Blacks 30, Wallabies 13.

Didn't see the game, as this involves going to the pub up the road for Sky Sports, so I kept up with the match blow-by-blow on Planet-Rugby instead.

Number 10's really take a battering, don't they? Carter off with a torn calf muscle, so I hear, and Giteau (who I think is also a smart young player: had an email conversation last year with a friend about who should be the one to kick on the Aussie side & he didn't disagree with me about Matt) also off with injury.

Good to see Joe Rokocoko back in form: one of the nicest players on the team by all accounts. And Richie McCaw, over his head injury well and truly.

Happy win for the AB's.

And I missed it entirely because I was in full cooking mode all last night and didn't even look at the telly guide. Dammit.

:gasp: Daniel injured, shite, there goes the best kicker on the squad.

Ditto for Matty. The Wallabies need him.

But the Blacks won YAYYYYY

Heh. You can take the girl outa NZ...

Carter is turning into such a good player, compared to where he was at a year or so ago. I miss Spencer's flamboyance more than a bit, but he was just too inconsistent. So hoping that injuries don't curtail Dan's career as they seem to have done to Wilko.
