Went to the game today score at half time 8-4 Aust fulltime was 14-4 to Aust.......... the weather was crap so football not very good heaps of drop balls etc.......No 9 Heath Lestrange had a awesome game leading from the front as captain, ripping the Relatively inexperienced NZ hooker to pieces with darting runs from dummy half and a solid effort in defence. The No 5 Sam Perrett was my outstanding player.... Benji played well although don't think he like the weather at all not for his type of play also big rap to Brendon Oake....... Bronson was ok but after reading all your comments on him over this year expected a little more but he did play good........and will some one please tell me were Dean Collis is did he come over or not he's not been mentioned at all
