Surely Bindon over Elliot now?

I take back some of my criticism of Elliot. Defensively very sound verus a rapid opponent.

NZ still unbeaten in 44 years at WCs.

Toe for toe stuff. Good on Bazeley for leaving it very late before bringing on the 3rd CB.

I'd keep the same starting 11 for the next match. Thomas for McCowatt maybe the only change. Singh gets beaten up physically but still has those touches of class we otherwise lack.
