Their lineouts were awful, and England's sieve-like defence flattered their attack to say the least. Add to that the fact that McCaw is out and I would say there is an even match-up in prospect. Well I for one certainly hope so :-) I don’t fully agree that the All Blacks were excellent against England.

The All Blacks are deadly and show little margin of error. Their U20 side showed that up yesterday. Peter has all the firepower in Springbok players at his disposal and he is a gifted coach of a TEAM. It will be that team factor that Peter will call on to take on the Kiwis. Plus Peter and his strategy is largely unknown to Henry and his lot and I would not be surprised if every All Black player did not receive a DVD this morning of his opposite number playing against Wales and Italy.
