Just looked at the score 50-12, I dont think that score does the game justice IMO, but I think you've got to give credit to the Australian team they played outstanding. Theres been games in the past where Australia have won the game easy, but tonight they got through the big hits from the Kiwis, and physical forwards up front and absolutely dominated. They hardly made a mistake.
Andrew Johns is certainly going to be missed for Australia. Joey youve been magnificiant in the Green and Gold, thanks for the 11 years youve played for Australia, you never let the jersey down and played 100% every time. As well as BK, good kick at goal too.
Look I still think the International game is alive and this game doesnt do it too much damage. New Zealand play with a lot of passion and tonight wasnt their night, they didnt have their best forward in Wiki and best playmaker in Jones. If they played it probably wouldve been a lot tighter.
The build up to the game was great, the haka, the national anthem. It felt great when you heard the whole crowd sing the Aussie national anthem, and to that little girl who sung for her father Gary battling cancer, she sung well, I had a tear in my eye when I heard she was singing for her father, I dont think he'd be a prouder father.
Im lookin forward to the Tri Nations, no doubt New Zealand will be keen to come back. McLennan is a good coach, and if New Zealand are full strength will be hard to beat.
