[QUOTE="austingtir, post: 666578, member: 54150"] My main annoyance is still with the NZ scrum. Sure they gave them a good kick in the balls when they were down to 14 but I thought they really could of pressed it home even with 15 on the park. This Australian pack should not be able to hold it together against a top NZ scrum. Argentina is going to have an absolute field day against these guys... I think the Argentina game will be a good marker for where our scrum is at. If we are going backwards like SA did we need to look at it hard imo. I still think its not good enough. In saying all that the NZ scrum does seem to be able to pick up another level at crucial times (we've seen it against SA last year and Eng) which is a good sign.... but this was only Australia. And Darwin I dont agree with your analysis of Mccaw to me before the yellow he was like superman. Havent seen him play like that since like 2004 or something. And Crotty was good but this is not SA once he performs like that against them I will agree he's surpassed Nonu. [/QUOTE]
