All Blacks just scrape in...

NOT! They played Fiji and kicked their arse 91-0. I feel sorry for the Island nations as they really do not have much of a chance, as the really talented players end up migrating to NZ and playing for the All Blacks. They have little money to attract and keep their players - there will surely come a time when they just won't play us as it is just too lop-sided.

Also, the NZ Maori's had a great win against the touring Lions. Hopefully, they will provide some decent opposition to the All Blacks.
