Mantas 3 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 This from Yahoo news. All Blacks and Wallabies in different class at Rugby World Cup 3 hours ago PARIS (AFP) — New Zealand and Australia scored a combined total of 167 points and 24 tries as the southern hemisphere giants ruthlessly exposed the huge gap in international rugby at the World Cup on Saturday. The All Blacks swept aside Italy, who had beaten both Wales and Scotland in the Six Nations this year, 76-14 while Australia crushed Japan 91-3 in embarrassingly one-sided encounters which contrasted sharply with Argentina's breathtaking win over hosts France in Friday's opening match. Defending champions England did little for northern hemisphere honour as they struggled to a 28-10 win over the United States in Lens. Maybe they should've just held it down here.

I was impressed with what I saw. But then the Wallabies started putting it together and the inevitable happened. Well done Japan I must say though, if the Wallabies play that poorly against the Kiwi's they are gone for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
