    Crap quality but it's hard to take a picture when you're screaming you head off :)

    That's a pretty impressive statistic for them I must say.

    He was absolutely creamed, down for a couple of minutes trying to get his wind back. All well worth it though,what a night that was.

    Actually Mitchell and Hynes have both scored against the ABs. So that's 3 players:P

    Would be surprised if Babas didn't cross the NZ whitewash at least once on Saturday. Let's hope it's an Irishman who scores!

    I think they trade for a WC though.

    Pretty damning stat for NH teams as the Kiwi's conceeded a bucket of tries(by their standards) in the 3N's this season.

    Embarrassing for whom exactly?
    International players play for themselves and for their respective countries. No-one else.

    With four Kiwis in it, three of which would have played in the first string team anyway. Also an Aussie and an Italian-qualified Argentinian, both of whom also would have played in the first team too.
    Great.

    If thats embarrassing to a supporter then methinks they're taking this all a little too personally.
