Just watched Wales beat Aus.
An accurate reflection of Wales' standing is the thrashing they were given by the Kiwis - they are poor.
Needless to say, Aus are abysmal.
Hopefully, we can now finally take the logical decisions and punt Jones, Gregan and out tight 5. There cannot be any further excuses.

I thought The Scots were fantastic in the Second half. I can't help think Refs seem to ref NZ more than there opponents. Maybe I'm just bias, but we consistently seems to get hit with penalties that our opposition get away with. Its almost as if they pay more attention to the AB infringements but miss others

When we get british refs it seems to me sometimes like they only ref one team. No complaints from me though, it is probably just my NZ bias.

I don't think there is much hope for the Wallabies. I reckon Eddie should go and maybe a few personnel chnages. However, I don't think that the Wallabies have the calibre of players to become the best in the world again for quite a few years. I think people have to face the fact we're not good, end of story.

Some big changes really need to be made, i think its time to panic. Jones, George all have to go and the fowards really have to have a hard look at themselves. I can't see Lyons and Young making a big enough difference to improve their performaces next winter. Its really time to fast track some youngers in the forward pack.
Watched the All Blacks v Scotland game live - Talking to the referee has become a norm it seems in the Northern Hemisphere !! 
The Scots seemed to have picked this habbit from the English , and it was amusing to see the Ref being assisted by several scottish players in his decision making !!
To me the referees appear to lack confidance or want to be seen to appease those Teams at every opportunity .
It was pretty comical to see a scottish player taking over the referees job by indicating the ball had been knocked forward close to their line by one of the ABs after he had chased the same player all the way down the field . ( for the benefit of the Ref who had struggled to keep up with the chase )
*I thought this was why they had assistants and TMO's *
And it was not just one scottish player but rather more or less the whole Team at different times were talking to the ref or assisting him .
I hope the IRB takes note and does something about this before it gets out of hand.
Otherwise we will end up with over 20 referees on the field making decisions !!

Man, Henry robbed me of three hours sleep with that third string side... And boy did they ever want the Test over and done with.
Scotland were great in the second half. Lamont's break was awesome, especially when Henderson (I think) stepped outside Gear. It would've been a classic try if he wasn't bundled into touch. It surprised me that Scotland had the best backline of the home nations.
