[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 915385, member: 59145"] OK before I say this please keep in mind, I'm still thrilled with the win and proud of the boys, but we do need to not get ahead of ourselves. Yes we won but we certainly aren't the better team, this win was made from true grit, effort and elbow grease. Specifically: - We had two intercept tries, and yes the ABs do this to us all the time but we can't rely on them every game. - A few AB players were uncharacteristically poor, specifically the Barret brothers (4 missed kicks at poles is a lot of points left wanting) - They kicked poorly out of hand in general and made many mistakes - doesn't happen often. - Willie and Faf fired, it really feels like when they rock up to play we just play better. - A few Trojans put in absolutely huge efforts and made a huge amount of tackles - PsdT, Mosert, Whiteley etc Most of the stats show NZ dominance. Let's be happy, but keep our expectations curtailed, Rome wasn't built in a day, and we still have many problems. [/QUOTE]
