Nowhere near enough class for the Kiwis without Jones. They'll hang in, for a while. Need something special from Benji and Sonny to have any shot.

 

[Timmah]

Roberts to suffer and injury :sarcasm:

2.15pm The Kiwis are still practising the haka apparently...

 

[Nook]

Anyone know if it is to be telecast live/short delay in Melbourne?

If not with the Bledisloe at the MCG this year (and presumably a live Vic broadcast of the RU to go with it), this will likely be the first year in a few when the Aus v NZ union outrates the rugby league here.

 

[lockyno1]

No telecast into melbourne on FTA, will be on Fox later no idea what time. World Cup cricket starts at 11:30pm.

 

[kia ora storm]

If the kiwis are up at halftime then they will win it...

 

[panthersballboy]

I think the Aussies will win quite comfortably. The kiwi's have no kicking game at all with the halves. Both play a more running style game rather than kicking/organising.

I predict McClennan to get the sack after this one but not to worry he'll pick up a job choreorgraphing broadway shows due to the sensational haka.

Seriously, WTF? Why don't they just show RL... it would rate much better than filler program CRAP.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Im hearing late changes from the Kiwis

Eastwood to start SBW to bench

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

It would be better than some movie

Eastwood to start SBW to bench

Interesting...I thought they'd have him starting:?

 

[Nook]

Nine aren't going to give anything away this year with Seven right up their collective arse.

If they reckon Dino-riders reruns are going to draw a couple of thousand more than the RL then the RL won't be on.

(My personal preference would be to be able to watch both. Dino-riders, very cool show. After years of peaceful existence on the peaceful planet Valoria, Questar and his people were forced into battle... *regresses into childlike state*)

Well Im lookin forward to this,

once you hear the national anthems and haka, you can just feel it, a great test match coming up.

I think Australia will win because:

We've got more passionate players in our team, guys like Lockyer, Thurston, Hindmarsh, Civoniceva are just as hungry as the Kiwis. Every time they put on jersey with the Australian coat of arms they go out there and give it their absolute best.

I think its gonna be a great clash, the Kiwis will be fired up for this after their Tri Nations loss, the Aussies are well prepared.

GO AUSTRALIA!!

and go Australia in the cricket, even though we're already in the semis, but I'd be happy as long as we beat NZL.

 

[brooksy19]

Australia by 4.

 

[pcpp]

Crowd of 'high 20's'... according to Rabs

Anyone think that live coverage has cost a few thousand fans?

 

[Mr Angry]
