"Virtually as good as it could've gone": Elliott Smith on All Blacks v Namibia

A big win for the All Blacks in the Rugby World Cup. 

They've beaten Namibia 71 points to 3, while playing in Toulouse this morning. 

Newstalk ZB’s Elliott Smith told Jack Tame that as far as the All Blacks are concerned it went virtually as good as it could’ve gone. 

That is until the 72nd minute, when Ethan de Groot was red carded for a high hit on Namibian player Adriaan Booysen. 

Smith said that de Groot was likely to get a six week ban that could be mitigated down to three, and potentially down to two if he’s eligible for the tackle school ruling.
