when you're eleventy billion points ahead, i think you can be forgiven for taking the foot off the gas.
very impressed with the baa-baas. italy aren't really THAT poor a side, yet the kiwis made them look distinctly amateur without ever really leaving second gear.
also quietly impressed with us as well despite the calibre of the opponent. i think
if we can do the welsh in some style in cardiff we might get a bit of a roll on here and be a real threat.
for all everyone keeps harping on about the All Blacks, we're as dangerous as any side in the world when on form. just that us being in form happens so rarely these days...

The media here in New Zealand are wondering if there is a bit of a gulf between the likes of New Zealand and the 6 nations sides.
They are basing that on the fact that Italy beat a couple of sides in the 6 nations this year (Scotland and someone else) and how emphatically we walked over Italy.
Also to add to that the poor performances by the big northern sides France and England.
