I’ve already posted the highlights of the Springboks VS Italy game from Saturday, but there were a whole host of other internationals played over the weekend
- New Zealand Maori VS Ireland: The New Zealand Maori capped off their centenary in style when they recorded a historic win over the Irish at the Rotorua International Stadium on Friday night. The game was a bit of a back and forth affair, but the Maori prevailed 31 – 28 on the day. Here are the highlights:

All Blacks VS Wales: The All Blacks completed a 42 - 9 route of Wales over the weekend, during the final international to ever be played at the House of Pain, in Dunedin. The All Blacks will be happy with their performance, and the fact that their all star flyhalf, Dan Carter looked more and more like his old self. They will however be less than happy with their casualty list from the weekend, of which Cater is one. All in all, at times, it was as if the All Blacks were playing a blind school, as they seemed to simply step through the Welsh defense unscathed. Here are the highlights:

Wallabies VS England: Martin Johnson’s England side were simply the better team on the day, when they took down a young, but usually impressive Wallabies side when they recorded a 21 – 20 win over the home side in Sydney over the weekend. Like the All Blacks, the Wallabies will be licking their casualty list wounds from the weekend. With stars like Will Genia out for four weeks, whilst Digby Ione will have to have reconstructive shoulder surgery and be out for 4 months. By no means would I write the Wallabies off though, with a wealth of young players waiting in the wings, expect them to bounce back. Here are the highlights:
