Australia look seriously outgunned in the engine room, even if RCG plays. No idea why Mal would play DCE while having Hunt in the side, rather than another big forward on the bench.

Is it too late for Nanai and Tualagi to switch to Somoa ? Mal isn't going to use them....

Its a 19 player squad. I doubt DCE will be in the final 17 at all when it is trimmed down.

After the first game England seemed to have peaked whilst Australia have paced themselves

upsets are always possible but a comfortable Australian win is the expectation.

 

[Billythekid]

I said Australia should be favourites at the start and I’m sticking by that. The big question is if NZ’s pack get dominate as they have the potential too. If not I could see the Aussies putting on a decent score.

Surely after winning by 60 you’d have to think England are decent favourites. Just hoping they deliver and we get a cracking GF.

 

[Someone2]

It will be a NZ vs Samoa final

 

[kiwileaguefan]

Will be an Aus vs Eng final..

U think England will want NZ to get through as I can't see Aussie losing to Eng....its been what like 16 years?

 

[GreenMachine121]

Why is dce playing … such a bad selection

 

[Wb1234]

Stupid poms not knowing about the minutes silence and clapping after the last post then thinking the nz anthem was just the bit I’m Māori

lol

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Plenty of high energy from both sides early on

 

[Front-Rower]

#madgecantcoach

 

[Wb1234]

Wooo

go nz

 

[Desert Qlder]

This is the shittest Aussie side ever.

 

[skeepe]

Lol Munster and Latrell were only interested in blocking the chasers, didn’t bother trying to catch the ball. Got what they deserved.

6-0 to the good guys.

 

[GreenMachine121]

Play on lol

 

[skeepe]

Looks like Big Game ‘Trell has shown up

 

[GreenMachine121]

Under pressure these blokes

 

[GreenMachine121]

Wow

 

[Wb1234]

Fittler has a lot to answer for

wow
