The All Blacks first test match for their end of year tour was against Wales.
Zac Guildford was making his test debut and he played like a plyer with 50 test match experience. He was not shy about taking the high balls, made some telling runs and was there to make the try for Andrew Hore.
Dan Carter showed is mongrel by taking to a Wales player with a high shot that the ground replays kept showing, and showing and showing. From then on, when Dan Carter was shown on the big screen, boos rang out over Millennium Stadium. I suppose anything to keep the crowd entertained.
Wales nearly made it a draw but the big lock ran out of puff after the 50m line and was mown down by, you guessed it, Zac Guildford. Go Zac.
It was refreshing to see a northern hemisphere team actually running the ball and not just pass and kick. Let's hope that all the other games will be as entertaining as this one was.
