Vatuvei scored 10% of his international tries against him. He is not unstoppable in those situations. Both times he was in great position to stop him. Didnt come close though.

He will learn from it, butost wingers could have atleast put him into touch on that first try. The defending winger had the advantage from that angle. The second try could have been stopped by wrappping the ball up. He never came close to either.

I agree with you on the first try. He needed to be out further to give himself a better chance of getting Manu over the side line (he put him off enough to make him nearly drop it as it was). Nobody was going to stop him for that second try though twist as you may.

We wuz robbed.

Nah, congrats to the flightless bird for beating the Oz C side.

Few comments:

Dylan Walker was at least 2 years away from playing for his country.

Cordoner should not have been in the C side.

GI was too quiet for a final when he needed step up for the youngins - disappointing.

Kearney has now coached NZ to 2 4nations titles and a WC, decent effort. He copped a lot of criticism before the ANZAC test for the side he named and has been very much vindicated.

That's it, that's enough. No lifting of the trophy, Sheens and NSW a embarrassment .
Hardly any representitives on stage.
No wonder the code gets treated like a second class sport.

Johnson owned Inglis, and Evans and Cronk, yet we get treated to second class origin rugby where Gallen is more interested in boxing, Hayne goes to NFL and video refs rule on a try to Thaiday so they can allow a NSW win.

Asada put paid to that, and crowds are voting with their feet.
The codee is lame, and i would not be surprised if johnson joins Hayne in French rugby.


Hayne went from NFL to French Rugby in a paragraph's time,damn that's quick.

Humiliated? Are you f**king geniused? At least he can catch unlike Australia's other wing option who is much more experienced. Yeah he could have come in quicker for Manu's first try but in terms of Australia's f**k ups this series he has been the least of their worries...which is ironic considering how many people were hoping and expecting him to be an epic failure at that level.
Yeah conceding two stoppable tries is far less humiliating then dropping a bomb. :lol:

The guy who was ran over twice to score against in a one try loss certainly was the LEAST of our worries. :lol:

Deadset. He had a couple of shocking tackles and you can't point out he was picked prematurely without the defence force acting as though its not possible to do better. FFS. He had a poor game, he will learn from it. He is still a kid with only 7 games of NRL behind him. He now has 3 games of international footy aswell, basically a third of his toplevel games are international footy.

He will definitely be a better player then Mansour. No one is suggesting otherwise. But he isn't there yet, and having a kid tonighy backfired massively.

Im happy to point out when myteams winger f**ks up. i know he has shocking handling at times. But in his four games for Australia he was only exposed under bombs he once, and managed to recover and not concede a try. He has room to improve too. But he is still only a rookie himself.

That frame of young Sione scoring a legit try - what a talent.

By the way, Perth Red:

GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY:lol:

Pretty predictable result but thought the Kiwi's would have won by more. Congrats to them.

Aussie team with plenty of old farts and a few rookies looked pretty ordinary for a lot of the game. Desperately needed a couple of front rowers to help Klemmer out.

I would have liked to seen Inglis at centre this series and today I would have had Aiden Guerra over Jackson. Just not sure why Jackson has such wraps on him. Good player but though Guerra would have been a better choice for the final against the Kiwis.

I'm a Knights fan a Sione did well considering his lack of first grade experience let alone rep experience. That said I think he was out of position at times when the ball shifted to his side. Yes he's a talent but all this has come too quickly and we could have possibly picked a bloke with a little more experience.
