HE STROKED IT GENTLY AND EASED IT BETWEEN THE POSTS


No, not a line from a Mills and Boon novel but Murray Mexted waxing lyrical about one of Giteaux' penalty kicks in the Australia New Zealand game last night.
I thought that I'd had enough of rugby, having been disappointed at how the All Blacks have been playing. Too many new players, too many mistakes and not enough razzle-dazzle. Well, last night's game has given me a reason to follow them again. Its not just about the winning (although that's good) its about how the game goes and whether it makes for good watching. I enjoyed it.

The All Blacks will be relieved to have your vote of approval.
Oh, hang on, maybe they don't sit down as a team and read your blog?

No actual comment needed I think.
