Vs Aussie ANZAC TEST

[Philip_Smith007]

Woooooh!
6-26 at half time.
Johnson showing what he can do when he is running the show!
Hope we can keep up the intensity in the second half.
Loving Taupau work, kick returns and the warning to Thaiday!

 

[lafai]

That forward pack man

 

[JJ]

That was thoroughly excellent!!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Didn't score a point in the second half, but defended like champions!
Ref tried like hell to get them into the game, some inconsistent calls, Parkers offload/strip, then doesnt call same on SKD, JT pass to Johnson called back for held, but let them pass off late into the tackles all day!
Manu knock on? Foot and head maybe! Did Dugan not clearly have one hell of an advantage playing for a try!
Anyway we won!
World number ONE here we come!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Manu man of the match, Taupau must of been a close second!

 

[MKEB...]

I woulda thought Taupau Bromwich Then Manu myself. But who firken cares....wooooo

 

[ozbash]

Ref tried like hell to get them into the game,

yea, the ol 'nuetral ref' game...

 

[MKEB...]

loling at some of the meltdowns in the spoiler thread...

"who cares, its not state of origin" lol

 

[Benek]

Anyone else annoyed that Mannering can't get his penalties under control in a big match like this? What did he have, 3 of them?

 

[MKEB...]

And a number of damned scything tackles. .

 

[Benek]

Yeah no doubt his defense was huge. Set the tone for the second half. Just sayin' he seems better than those penalties.

 

[MKEB...]

Thing I enjoyed the most...Seeing Cronk get crunked repeatedly. Also Taupau getting up and giving a throat slash gesture...not polite I know, but Bloody 'ell.

Kiwis brilliant in both halves of the match for different reasons. It's just great to see a NZ side defend so well on the edges for so long. That's probably the most pleasing thing for me, seeing green and gold continuously drowning in a sea of black and silver.

Totally agree. What a fantastic team effort.

They obviously enjoy playing with themselves more!
SOO officially second rate!

 

[Dicko1]

You're forwards are young and in their prime. Ours are on the downward slide, getting too old. Out muscles and out enthused by a younger, faster, stronger pack. Well done guys.

 

[AuckMel]

Really, really good win. Bloody smashed them.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Interesting Aussie opting out of Four Nations, when it looks like they need to blood some young guys.

Totally.

Bird, Lewis, Myles and Tamou should probably not play international football again

Totally justified and appropriate considering the headlock treatment he'd just been given.
