Anyhoo, that's 18 on the trot, yes? Assuming we manage to not fuck it up next week that means 20 & the record goes on the line in Bledisloe 1 @ Sydney?

Geez it wasn't even close!!!
Truthfully thought it a bloody good test, am comfortable with ref decisions, try may or may not have been one, but when Peyper tried to change it GA said it was English arm under ball so he could allow it, don't know if it right or wrong but thats the decision so thats it, the more interesting one is why the ABs weren't allowed to pick up the ball that seemed clearly out of ruck!! Poms are playing bloody good rugby, certainly pushing the onside rule, but thats how the refs let them play so good on them!!

Yep you also told people last week that Poms would definitely win this test too!
Though actually, I do agree with you they look like the team to beat in WC next year!!

yep, once those short passes in traffic started sticking Eng were at sixes and sevens SPEAKING OF WHICH The Redoubtable Rt Hon R.J.B.J Mccaw
WHO AMONG YOU DOUBTED HIM?
WHO?
Holding up the huge C.Lawes and hauling him backwards in 80th minute. IRON WILL. IRON COCK.
Aaron Smith's laborious wind-up on his box kicks was a wFt work-on
I.Dagg oh dear youre in the shit now son. B.Smith has staked his claim (UNDROPPABLE) and C.Piutau coming up fast in the rear vision too.
Peyper shat the bed on the Brown held-up call, that plus the consolation try, I'm penciling "28-13" into my Little Black Book.
"I have a big one."

In with a shout if it's fine, too.
@Dismal, I think you're a bit quick to dump on Izzy, when the shit hits the fan next year which we all know it will, he's the guy with the 155mm howitzer boot that'll get us out've trouble more so than Smith's 105. As for the other Smith, he's trying to emulate Willy G: worlds best HB one minute, nek minit not so much. With any luck Arkansas takes him out the back of the team hotel & re-educates him in the ways of AllBlack HalfBackness.

Turns out it's only 16 if ESPNScrum's stats guru is to be believed so 20 would appear to be v Argentina @ Napier on 6 September.

Nonu is a bit like McCaw USA, I think a few people have been a bit quick to write him off over the last couple of years!!

Wouldn't you rather the 'boks did it? Surely you wouldn't want the Poms to have bragging rights?

At the moment the All Blacks are so ominous that I just want their streak to end so that SA may contest the remarkable winning run you have had. Would love SA to end the streak, but am thinking mathematically here. Our chances are very slim of ever getting near our 17 game winning streak given the rugby landscape in SA.
