Sonny Bill Williams was a deserving Man of the Match./spanbr /br /While there was talk during the week of the Scots looking for a big performance, that was put to bed fast as the All Blacks blew them away with their far superior finishing and deft touches, led by Williams in the midfield.br /br /The big centre was playing in only his second Test but showed what he’s capable of by setting up tries for those around him on more than one occasion.br /br /"Williams has everything. It's fantastic he's in our sport," said Scotland coach Andy Robinson. "We have let the nation down," he added bluntly, referring to his team.br /br /By the end of the game the Scottish commentators had resigned themselves to a humiliating defeat, and instead sang the praises of the All Blacks, and Williams in particular. He himself was happy with the game, but credited his support runners.br /br /"You're only as good as your support play and you probably can't get much better than the boys that I played alongside in the last couple of weeks. It does make it a lot easier," Williams said. "I just hope they catch it, because if they don't catch it...br /br /"It was a step forward - now I know I can mix it at this level -- but in saying that there's still big games ahead and there's a long way to go. Ma'a and Conrad to me are the best midfield combination in the world. As long as I can keep my foot in there and hopefully keep staying in that 22 and get a bit of game time here and there, I know I'll improve."br /br /New Zealand travel to Dublin next to face Ireland, a team they’ve never lost to. Scotland host South Africa at Murrayfield, where both sides will be looking to put in better performances than was seen on the weekend.br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kF2VDc1a3YE?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kF2VDc1a3YE?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time: /span05:13/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-4279836682603274026?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divpa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xWxPZetQ07J0pyHuTQ8hfGxazm0/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xWxPZetQ07J0pyHuTQ8hfGxazm0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xWxPZetQ07J0pyHuTQ8hfGxazm0/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xWxPZetQ07J0pyHuTQ8hfGxazm0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=0nnQppabBXk:-yJ3bmkjMek:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/0nnQppabBXk" height="1" width="1"/ More...
