sometimes, something should be said. congratulations graham henry, so far, so good. that was a good win over a springbok team that played well. the fitness of the all blacks came through in the end. henry (the coach) has had his share of detractors here in godzone but credit where its due. the reconditioning programme has indeed lifted the sheer speed and intensity of the all black game, even if paul ackford can't see it. why was there so much dropped ball? because the springbok defense was very robust. most definitely won by the forwards. well done to the loose forward trio. as for our much maligned locking duo, they were fine after a shaky start. not bad at all for the 5th and 6th locks in the country. a great game. oz this weekend. should be a good game too. bring it on.
