Scrum of the Earth /

Flaming gala's! If that's how strong the All Blacks shadow XV are, God help everyone else...

Pretty impressive weren't they. And that was with Wayne Barnes needing the toilet everytime the All-Blacks looked like giving away a penalty or possession.

Did he come under a bit a flack?

The odd forward pass went amiss [so no change there] and his policing of the scrum was definitely weighted in New Zealand's favour. But anyway back to the rugby - I hate whinging!

Sorry. So Richard Kahui looks tasty stuff?

The ladies love him and so do the fans. His vast skillset compliments a strong running game. He set up Piri Weepu as well as going over for one himself shortly afterwards.

And how did the fly-half go?

Stephen Donald's contribution was sublime. New Zealand didn't miss Dan Carter in the kicking department that's for sure. The cross-field punt for Anthony Tuitavake's try was perfectly weighted and he pretty much had a hand in everything that was positive for the almighty blackness.

Any positives for the Scots?

Euan Murray pounded The Whopper AKA Jamie Mackintosh into the ground and looks a good bet for a Lions jersey on this evidence while Mike Blair stood out like a sore thumb. Mind you, whether it's because his standards are so high or that his teammates are so poor, is still debatable.
