All Blacks for me.

jolly bad luck to the Jocks..... a brave effort but not quite enough..

[ophidian]

Yeah they did well but even with an English coach they couldn't quite do it.

Have watched a few games on Foxtel over here. Just want to doth my cap to the presenters. Frequently, on some of the channels, the presenters are only to eager to get stuck in with a bit of pommie bashing, but happy to report the coverage has been very fair, even though England hasn't quite be running as a finely tuned machine so far.
Can't really look beyond the All Blacks to win it, even with the absence of Dan Carter, all round too fast powerful & skilful me thinks.

The commentators at the actual grounds have been very good, mostly Kiwis, those back at the Foxtel studios have been less good.
