The Daily Mail has branded New Zealand as "arrogant" for resting Dan Carter in the game on Saturday, prefering to use him in the tougher game against France (according to Graham Henry - he still knows how to wind the English up!).

They just don't get it do they? With backpage headlines such as this (the English calling another rugby nation arrogant? Pots, kettles, black?), they then run a small 9 line paragraph reporting, as an aside to another piece, that the Ospreys beat Australia A. Now, if Leicester, Wasps or Bath had beaten the Aussies, we'd have all been told about it in glorius technicolour. Who's arrogant?

I think that question was answered in another thread Abbey. For the english, it's a national pastime.........or should that be a disease!

A 9 line paragraph? They must be slipping, its usually only included in the scores.

The All Blacks are a different Breed! They were incredible in some aspects of their play yesterday. That Try before half time in the last play was nothing short of breathtaking! Eddie Butler said "New zealand went through more phases in that move than Engerland did in the whole of the first half" Brilliant to watch.
