Aug. 14th, 2005 03:01 amAll 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.

Ditto for Matty. The Wallabies need him.
But the Blacks won YAYYYYY
