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

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Hayne has been second best to Cronk so far. But everyone is doing their part.

No one is playing bad for Australia and the team is just feeding off the players that are standing out (Cronk, Hayne) which is the way rep matches should be played.

 

[This Year?]

We're winning the ruck and that's all that matters. The Kiwis are going to have to come up with something special to win this.

 

[roughyedspud]

last week took too much out the kiwis..

Ref needs to enforce the 10m better 2nd half.

 

[cleary89]

Blah blah. Any fan would be up and arms calling it soft if it happened against their club side and you know it. No need to repeat technicalities everyone is well aware of.

Technicalities or rules. Who cares if manu just went into touch. Stop ruining the game with technicalities!!!!

 

[axl rose]

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.

This. Snooze fest

I just think so much is expected from hayne that he does one thing that was quite good, but everyone drools all over it case it's hayne.

Btw bird did make a few good breaks and offloads.

No, they're playing shit just like they did last week.

 

[Big Pete]

I just hope the Australians learned something from the last World Cup final and don't drop their bundle in the second half.

 

[MrAnonymous]

Australia best has been Sbw and Shaun Johnson.

 

[Jason Maher]

We haven't had to do much because New Zealand have offered less than nothing. A few touches of class built on a largely mistake-free game and rock solid defence.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Lol blaming a backrower of a team with 40% of the ball and zero field position.

You're only paying attention to the big things man. He's made a fair few dummy half runs with quick play the balls setting up a big push by the forwards, getting nz on the back foot. He's also completely shut down his opposites in attack.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Particularly loving the clean field (besides the soccer lines) Very refreshing and shows a bit of the game in it's raw sense on such a big stage.

 

[Diesel]

Kearney walking out at 1/2 time looks like he's given up already

 

[tumbidragon]

Not trolling, but where the f**k has SBW been? Saw him make 2-3 offloads, only 1 of which was quality. Needs to inject himself (not into Bellyache) big time if NZ are to have any chance of coming back!

Now that you mention it, I agree.

 

[beefstew]

Kiwi's are too big, too lazy, and too dumb, with poor coaching.

 

[roughyedspud]

sbw has been shutdown

 

[Chook Norris]

Game over

Massive anti-climax of a final
