No one was particularly happy after the All Blacks' 29-9 victory against the Wallabies in late August. There were blasts of good rugby, periods of control and focus but, for too much of the game, too many individuals got caught up reacting to provocation. Australia, with not much else to offer, decided they would be able to distract the All Blacks if they played them off the ball. There was ample jersey pulling and post-tackle shoving and verbal spraying designed to entrap New Zealand's players into reacting. And as long as we worry about playing footy and executing our stuff right, then there should be some answers."
