2023 - Oceania Tri-Nations (Pacific Championship)

What a tackle,to save a try

I would have thought it would be a full house with a change to beat the Roos in the final.
Maybe Hamilton would have been better for the Samoa game?

Crowd is predominantly behind the posts and behind the camera in the main stand. Possibly be named around 10K

Kiwis don't deal to well with sun apparently.

Dummy half drops the ball because the guy who plays the ball gets pushed back into him and no penalty. That is egregious refereeing from Gee.

f**k Hamilton btw. If it’s not Auckland it’s not NZ.

 

[Wizardman]

Give it!

Harry Grant has been found out this year.....glad my team has Api instead

Bye Bye Smell Me Finger. Guess rugby league never did anything for you.

The 30 was amazing, but the 0 was next-level!!

What a year for the game in NZ.

 

[Harry O]

Wow, I'm so happy for the Kiwis

 

[Jim from Oz]

Final score, New Zealand 30, Australia 0. New Zealand play absolutely faultless test RL. Australia suffer its greatest ever defeat in 395 Test matches going back to 1908, unbelievable!!!

Sadly that will not draw crowds or revenue. Watching England thrash those three nations is hardly entertainment.

If Samoa don’t go next year the alternative is England coming down and sniffing for whatever games they can get (not many) or not playing at all. They sold Ireland and France games well enough for World Cup games in the past.

Awesome win. I always thought last weeks result was an anomaly and we'd put in a good show this week.

 

[Wizardman]

Embarrassing day for the sport in Australia.......but great for the game. Congrats NZ!

 

[jim_57]

Let’s get back a mid-season Test window please, keep Origin Wednesdays and have a test weekend with Australia.

NZ V Aus
Tonga V Samoa
Fiji V PNG

England, Lebanon, Cook Islands etc can play somewhere too.

 

[RedVee_8]

Kiwis too good. Congratulations to them.

No that day usually goes to the AFL Grand Final

 

[Last Week]

NZ were excellent. Won solely because of their efforts. Just outclassed Australia in every aspect. Excellent coaching.

The RFL needs to figure out how to grow the game outside of West Yorkshire and Lancashire.
