Greetings and salutations; Bruce Robertson was my teacher and occasional coach, so i used to judge you harshly, i didn't think you deserved to be there; suspect hands, defence, too much mongrel, dying with the ball. Now you are a favourite, always drawing 2+ tacklers, superb distribution, timing, too much mongrel for anyone to handle; i look forwards to your tries and assists. With fair refs (lol) we will nearly always conquer; The other teams are trying to win; the All Blacks are trying not to lose, AB's are that good. Regardless of the outcome, cheers for the great rugby.

Hi Ali - play hard - but how about the All Blacks seizing the opportunity to lead NZ into change from our 'booze culture' by abstaining from Alcohol. Now that would be truly legendary!
