I actually thought that Grewcock behaved quite well, and he get's his place as much on the strength of his set-piece play as anything else I guess.
The All Blacks have their chance to make history now, because if they were to play the World Cup tomorrow they would win it, and they will be at home in 2011 so should retain it and be the first side to do so. I was hoping they got the World Cup, and am seriously hoping to be there as well.

I see some of the English press are mooting the idea of moving Lewsey to centre and giving van Gisenberg a start at full back. I don't know whether that will happen,but something has to change in the centres. Still not convinced about Jamie Noon, and Matthew Tait looks a one cap wonder at present. What did Ollie Smith do wrong I wonder?,He has been dropped from the squad for Samoa on Sat.
What is your opinion on Andy Farrell? I don't follow league,but he was being talked about as a very good player who could step up to union like Robinson did. I know he is injured at present,but I look forward to seeing him in action.
What position would he play ?A big centre
Steve,have you already conceded the World Cup to NZ? 2007 is a way to go yet and with France being the home country they will be in the mix.
