The All Blacks produced a hugely satisfying 33-6 win to wrap up the winter test season over Australia at the Westpac stadium in Wellington, but the question now is where to from here with an end of year tour starting in five weeks time?
The All Blacks only just avoided the bottom of the table for the tri-nations series, but beat the Wallabies with a clean sweep to regain the Bledisloe cup, It was an impressive finish to an ordinary Tri-Nations campaign that proved to the rest of the rugby world that South Africa are the number 1 team in the world after they dominated the super 14 season.
The All Blacks made good from their promise to kick on from their enterprising late rally against the South African Springboks last week and were lucky to be leading 16-6 at half time over the Wallabies, They showed they meant business from the opening whistle and finally produced a strong start to give their game the momentum that has been missing for much of the season.
It was good to see the coaching staff playing people in the positions they dominate at rather than trying them at different positions, I personally thought the coaching staff would have learn't a lesson from whats happened over the past 3 years. The response was a performance full of energy and, importantly, accuracy on both attack and defense.
The focus now will be on the end of year tour which starts on November 14 with five tests which will include games with Italy, France and England. Hopefully our coaching staff will continue with the team that have just dominated Australia which will then put New Zealand back in a position to regain the world number 1 ranking after the tri-nations in 2010.
All Blacks win over Wallabies.
