The AB's completed their international season for 2008 with a sound win over England 32-6, hence completing the Grand Slam (wins over all 4 home nations). But I would have to say apart from Wales the home nations were fairly lame this time round, and the Munster game against the dirt trackers was probably the best spectacle and they are a club? Is this tour worthy of the 'Grand Slam' status I wonder? I think not. The game in the northern hemisphere isn't shade on the south, therefore devaluing the Grand Slam. Playing with passion for 30-40 minutes of games really doesn't cut it these days, not against the Blackness. But after all of this, I'll take the wins.
Results as follows;
New Zealand v Scotland 32-6
New Zealand v Ireland 22-3
New Zealand v Munster 18-16
New Zealand v Wales 29-9
New Zealand v England 32-6
Cheers GB
