Hi Lox

Your views of the All Blacks mirror mine. They are the best rugby side and certainly the best to watch. There World Cup record though is poor and they need to put this right. Their performances this time look as though they will do.

Dan Carter will be a big loss - I always look forward to watching his sublime skills. Like all great artists he makes it all look too easy.

It is unlikely that England will make it to the final so if they don't I will be shouting for Ireland. But that is maybe a little premature as Wales have looked in very good form.

We are going to Wales tomorrow for a week or so and will be watching the matches there.

I think I might just keep quite during the game !!!!

Cheers
