Richie McCaw comes back to Captain the team to a winning return to form. The All Blacks were dominant in all areas of the game. They were particularly impressive in the line-out. My man Kaino had a good defensive game, managing to nick a few on the opposition throw. He was playing at 6 as Rodney had reverted back to 8. Kaino had a solid game and even stayed on till the 75th minute. Has defensive work was very good but I'm sure Henry would like to see more runs and attacking play from him.
Tony Woodcock grabbed a brace for New Zealand and Ma Nonu also scored two. His last try was a controversial last minute score to ensure a bonus point for the fourth try.
Australia couldn't match the All Blacks at all. They struggled with New Zealand's well executed kicking game. Carter was excellent as ever. What a player!
Final Score. New Zealand 39 Australia 10
My man of the match: Ali Williams. A commanding line out performance and prominent in the loose.
