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

[Tone83]

Just ahead of the great Krisnan Inu.

Yep.
1. GI
2. Hayne
3. Inu
4. Dave Taylor
...

No, he will play his best position, fullback.

Stupid then. Don't see the point whatsoever in him playing fullback when he should play centre at SOO (Stewart or Dugan FB in State and Inglis/Slater FB for Australia). Could be an elite cente

 

[tumbidragon]

Is this the greatest Aus touring side in history?

 

[afinalsin666]

It's an interesting point, the Aussie side will be totally different next World Cup. DCE halfback and GI fullback. But the rest of the spine I'm not so sure, could be anybody

Pearce will go 5/8 and we'll all be sad

Billy was motm for mine

:lol: How embarrassing this must be for you. You forgot THEDuges ;-)

:alcho:Wana be a lolabie? Rather be a ROO! YEWWWWW!!!

Kiwis were off their game today.. It's a shame we didn't get to see them firing so we could find out which team is best.

We've definitely had more rock solid star studded sides and very recently. I seem to recall a backline of-
1. Slater
2. Hayne
3. Hodges
4. Inglis
5. Folau
6. Lockyer
7. Thurston

Dramatically superior to a team with boyd and morris in it.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Umm, Australia is the best. Simple. The difference in spine is astronomical.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Would of preferred more than 2 Kiwis getting their hands on the world cup! Aussie to good!

 

[tumbidragon]

Hayne's a f**king beast! At his best, statistically the greatest footballer (RL) in history.

I fully expect Duges will have established his own country by then and Captain Coach his own nation.

We did find out. Today's the day to find out. NZ couldn't stand up to the occasion.

Australia are the best Rugby League Nation in the world. As it should be.

Lol, nice try. I do respect a solid troll.

 

[afinalsin666]

Australia is the best. We didn't let them for, got points on the board and they panicked. We didn't allow any kicks to get away clean. We shut down everything. Always annoys me when good defense is classed as the opposite team not firing.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Yep.
1. GI
2. Hayne
3. Inu
4. Dave Taylor
...

Yeah Inu and Taylor are MUCH better than Slater, Thurston and Smith.

Agred.

I'd rate both BMoz and Boyd over Falou imo. Hayne to me is far more devastating @ centre than Hodges, agree with the rest.

 

[maccattack]

You can't fault the players but you can fault the setup that allows so many advantages to Australia.

 

[afinalsin666]

The crowd has stuck around for the ceremony. Ken oath. Love England.
