Started off watching the All Blacks play Japan last night, but gave up on it after about 10 minutes. Purely cruel to watch.

But the final score (83-7) wasn't such a huge margin as some past games. However, still more akin to potting fish in a barrel than a game of rugby.

Hopefully today's games: Argentina v Romania, Australia v Ireland, S.Africa v Fiji will produce a bit more balance.

At least I'm not singing this weekend, but am in the choir for the Australia v USA match in Wellington on Friday next, which should be a good 'un.
