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

As an aside, has Inglis actually touched the ball tonight?

Can barely recall him having a carry

Inglis currently holds the amazing stat of having the ball less than Boyd.

 

[afinalsin666]

Smith has somehow made 25 tackles.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Is the New Zealand team playing? Inglis hasn't had to do much. There's no point him butting in for the sake of it when others are getting thr job done.

Oh I was being sarcastic and agree. As a non playmaker he's often at the mercy of his halves and the natural flow of the game.

 

[Tone83]

I honestly think these short in goals are the main reason the ESL is shit, think about how all the most amazing nrl tries could never have happened at stadiums like this. Being able to play free and wild in the in-goal has made our players evolve into greater athletes.

 

[Son of Minto]

How good has matt Scott been? Best prop in the world bar none. Morons on here though Ben matulino was better, L O f**kING L.

 

[Bovrick]

These in goals are massive, need shortening.

Plus we took the spikes out of the pit. Stop being so soft everyone.


But seriously, OT has been awful for this for years, I hope you lot complain enough to make someone do something about it.

 

[BranVan3000]

The NZ forwards have been soft as shit

 

[Rosetta]

Kiwis just not up for this physically, Kearney should have freshened his squad up more after last weeks brutal contest.

:lol:

 

[Tommy Smith]

I think SBW has easily been NZs best ... which isn't saying much!

 

[afinalsin666]

Scott doesn't hold a candle to Burgess or Graham, as much as I hate the merkins.

 

[user_nat]

Glenn has been pretty garbage.

 

[Bovrick]

Inglis currently holds the amazing stat of having the ball less than Boyd.

Holy sh*t.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Only taken 60 minute for NZ to actually contest a bomb on Slater. Amazing how the little things actually work.

It's a football stadium, we don't play all our games at 1/5th full massive stadiums.

Australia has a superior product but the atmosphere is shit cause too many teams play at stadiums that are far too big.

 

[Danish]

He could try doing some work, put your bias away

More tackles and more metres than any other kiwi forward, as well as all bar 2 Australian forwards. He's doing as much as he can with the piss weak ball he has been able to get.

Kearney's game plan of one out running and no set plays has finally caught up with the kiwis. Neither Foran nor Johnson have looked remotely like halves tonight

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Locke is so shit, it's no wonder they paid big bucks to Tomkins.

 

[some11]

Johnson's kicking game :lol:

 

[beefstew]

The Kearney book of set plays there...

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

New Zealand cannot handle Australia's defence. We're all over them.

I wouldn't be surprised if NZ don't score a try this match.
