[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 430011, member: 43875"] that's a good breakdown imo the main points of the game were Both teams have a lot of room to improve but the most telling factor was how the all blacks defence shutdown the aussie attacking game. The all blacks kick chase in particular was superb, even though some of dan carters kicks weren't very good the defence mroe than made up for it. Conrad smith can take a bow for that - they obviously targeted that area as it was a poor kick chase that lost the game in hong kong last year. In contrast the little posession the all blacks had they made big inroads over the aussie gainline. There was a telling period in the 2nd half where aussie had the ball for an extended period without making much ground then NZ got a turnover and in 5 phases they went 60m up field, it kind of summed up the key points in the game for me. NZ wont want to allow a team that much posession in future though, NZ can win games cleanly with 40% but it's much easier to win a game with 50% infact getting 50% means winning against most teams for the AB's.
