[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 817086, member: 70721"] Interesting to see a couple of moans about AB's winning everything but i would say this, in the last two weeks I thought the games to watch would be the games that didn't involve the AB's because on paper they should be a closer match up in regards to form, results, injuries etc but I was wrong on both weekends. Both times the AB games have been better for intensity, for tries of quality from both sides and for the standards of rugby teams were trying to achieve. Yeah ok I'm a dyed in the wool AB fan so of course I'm going to enjoy an AB win but sometimes we win ugly and I don't mind that but I would much rather we were playing sublime attacking rugby, as we are under Mr Hansen, than grudging along like we have in the past at times. Even the neutrals, who will all naturally be rooting for the other team ( it shouldn't be any other way) are admiring the style, class and quality of running rugby the AB's are turning out and the level of intensity they are maintaining for the full 80 minutes. I am truly grateful for the quality management and player group we have producing fabulous rugby at this time. Aussie, Saffers and England can all beat us in a relatively short time, especially on their respective home patches, IF they can match the same level of quality coaching they all have the players to do the damage, Pumas are not far behind now, and perhaps Wales, Ireland and France could be somewhere if they could also follow a similar construct and regimen.
