The battle of the flora went the way of the good guys last night. Kiwis played at about 85% and still came away with the win. They dropped a lot of ball early on and Carter had a rare off day with the boot, but they still managed to outlast the spoiling tactics to finish over the top. Even more impressive given that they have no first string locks available so the line out was getting hammered. Just too much depth for the sheep shaggers, amazing when you have got guys like McAlister and McDonald coming off the bench. Soliola had a good game and McCaw was everywhere as usual despite the Jarpie tactics of trying to niggle and cheap shot him out of it.
The Jarpies were unlucky as they scored two magnificiently crafted free flowing tries. A rolling ,maul from 5m out and an intercept. Quality rugby.
