'13 WC | FINAL | Australia 34-2 New Zealand | Manchester

[Parra Pride]

NZ would be in with a chance if the best player in the world was on the field, too bad he isn't playing.

 

[Tommy Smith]

In a tug of war contest this game just goes to show how important a quality game managing halfback with a good kicking game is.

 

[some11]

Good defence.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Ahahaha

no brains Manu at his best.

 

[coolumsharkie]

WE kill Kiwis

 

[user_nat]

And that's why you kick.

 

[Swarzey]

Brilliant scramble.

 

[afinalsin666]

Put five players defending vatuvei. Smart.

 

[STORM.99/07]

Good tackle Billy on fatuvi

 

[no name]

Come in dopey.
He was only ever going out.

 

[some11]

Ahahaha

no brains Manu at his best.

I dare not mock him, he will probably score a try tonight.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Stupidity. Had no chance of getting there.

Sbw can't performance on the big stage. The merkin is scared

 

[afinalsin666]

No way 9907, get off his dick. That was a group effort.

 

[lockyno1]

Players have waited for years for him to get the ball, seconds later they're watching him dot down.

He didn't have the ball, you can't tackle people without the ball.

 

[Tommy Smith]

The 1 6 7 9 match up is more a rape than a contest. That's the difference.

Most boring half of footy ever. Largely thanks to Silverwoods whistle and 7m defensive line.

 

[Diesel]

Hard to see NZ coming back, 14 points is just too much

 

[vamosrafa]

Everyone is quick to hyperbolise Haynes skill, but it seems to disappear as soon as he faces quality opposition.

 

[Bovrick]

Foran clearly can't travel. He's been an absolute nobody every time he's come over here, leaving Johnson to do all of the kicking and most of the playmaking.

NZ need to stop trying to be Australia. Nobody wins trying to out-bore Australia, they are the kings of doing nothing themselves and just waiting for the points to come their way.

Same could be said after the first half of the Grand Final, he will pop up somewhere in the 2nd half.
