Martin Taupau is future NZ Captain imo.

Yep. Definitely. As captain, he actually chased down Dane Gagai in a Jnr Kiwis match to save a try a few years back. Epic chase. The team went on to score 40 consecutive points and win (or were in the process of scoring 40. Can't quite remember)

He's a gem.

Anyone think MOM being chosen by the AUSTRALIAN selectors is a bit of a conflict?

 

[vvvrulz]

NZ did good but we showed in the end we're the best in the world.

Pretty arrogant opinion.
You should be disappointed it was this close given the sides on paper.

DCE easily motm. Made the difference.

Needs humour

 

[DOGSvsEELS]

thanks to the guys who explained matai & hurrel not being picked. I would have picked SBW at centre if he was available! got to be someone better then beale.

hiku is a good strong player but he is way overrated! manly make a lot of guys look better then they are. he's mos def not a fb, would be a lot better on the wing or centre.

don't think sheck is ready yet, hopefully locke is back soon.

 

[Jason Maher]

NZ desperately needed Foran out there.

 

[user_nat]

DCE easily motm. Made the difference.

Couldn't have done it without him and Gillett. Kept the bench organised.

 

[DC_fan]

Good to see Billy back in form. His best game of gage season. Should be mom.

 

[MacDougall]

ok mate we get it. You want to drink his jizz

Fixed for grammar.

Even simply having Luke would have changed the result, I believe. Benry tried hard, but just isn't a hooker.

 

[Danish]

Thurston, Cronk, or Smith will get MoM. Its a test match, its the law

I don't know about that. I don't we would have taken that team so lightly in the first half. Definitely a team capable of winning though.

Speaking of jizz!

Hoffman?

Couldn't possibly see why. You'll complain about an Australian ref next.

 

[Liddell]

John Grant has never been prouder of his wallabies.

 

[hutch]

Why do the Australian selectors pick the man of the match? How does that work? And why was the referee an Aussie?

 

[STORM.99/07]

Roos just did enough to win without any real exertion.
