Reporting after the first Bledisloe Cup game in front of 80,000 screaming Wallaby Sydney fans, the AB's we totally out muscled, out kicked and out played to lose 34-19. In Rugby terms, a thrashing at this level. Re-match is this Saturday at Eden Park Auckland. The AB's season is at a real turning point from being bad to worse. Injuires and the lose of 13 front line Abs from last year have really hit hard, not to mention the number of top players who have been lured to Europe for big money.
I expect and good hard fought win this weekend in Auckland. Australia haven't won a game at this ground since 1994, but history means crap if you don't hold on to the pill.
Richie McCaw has returned after a 6 week injury, he has been missed, more than just his captaincy. He's a welcome return to the # 7 jersey. Hopefuly he can last the whole 80 minutes without question?
