'10 | TEST | Fri 7 May | Australia 12-8 New Zealand | AAMI

[Timmah]

Let's be fair dinkum, they're still only choosing Gidley on the back of the fact he's the incumbent NSW Captain and even then he kinda got that by default.

I can't see the use for him - in Test match football your utility needs to be dynamic and Gidley's not in the same ilk as Wing for example, the quick dart out of dummy half etc.

 

[Bman26]

Yes...Brian Waldron will be doing a lap of honour.

I'm front row at one of the ends, I'll be banned for jumping the fence and attacking him before the game starts =[

 

[kia ora storm]

I want to watch this game 114-113, what a game!!!!!!!!!!

Yep...will be awesome.

Heaps of points on offer.

 

[nehalem]

NZ by 114...

maybe if the full kangaroo side gets all their arms amputated.

maybe if the full kangaroo side gets all their arms amputated.

The Aussies are playing the World Champions...remember.;-)

 

[Timmah]

The same world champions who didn't make the four nations final in 2009?

 

[adamkungl]

Australia by a lot, as usual in this game

 

[Noa]

Australia, not by a lot. This will be a tough game and I think we get home on the back of a bit of Inglis brilliance.

 

[KiWi_BoI_15]

Kiwis by 8!

 

[Bman26]

LOL @ Channel 7.

They just had a story about JWH smashing a few forwards in the 4 nations, but the picture used to introduce the story featured a Wallabies and All Blacks logo. Noobs.

shouldnt the kiwi squad be finalised by now

 

[kia ora storm]

Hope Matai thumps Lyon..

 

[Daddycool]

Geez... you sure are bitter these days. Wonder why?

 

[zombie jesus]

Australia by 8.
Foran to have a blinder.
JWH to be sent off.

 

[user_nat]

maybe if the full kangaroo side gets all their arms amputated.

Even if the Australian had no arms.. I suspect the Kiwis couldn't put 114 on them.

Jamie Lyon would probably manage a torso try anyhow.

 

[Mr Angry]

Well going on past games on this nature, Australia 36 kiwis 12.

The Kiwis are better in tournuments and build up, one offs they don't do so well.

 

[Butters]

Australia 40-8
