I thought GB knew how to blow a game against Australia.

 

[Big Pete]

Was such a frustrating game until the last couple of minutes.

Reminded me of Origin 3 a lot.

As Scuba said QLDER! QLDER! QLDER!

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

Lyon!!!!

 

[wittyfan]

Lol @ NZ!!!!

But it just shows that class always wins out in the end.

 

[leaguerules]

good game sorry kiwis this ment not to be a sledge but your team are losers they should not have lost that. SOuths Like lol

Vagana how many penalities does this bloke give away. my dad just called him the dumbest player since jim dymock lol he just does dumb things

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

You Beauty!!!

 

[NPK]

Great game all round. Inglis ended up being the difference really.

 

[Eelectrica]

Commiserations to NZ. You guys outplayed, outenthused Australia, tough luck on the loss.

I think you guys will be meeting us in the final, if your team plays like they did tonight, we'll have another classic game and it wouldn't be a surprise if you retained the trophy.

 

[International RL]

Jesus tap dancing christ...

I'm done with this sh*t. How many times does Australia get outplayed only to pull some bullsh*t victory out of its arse. Then no-one remembers how good the game was, just that Australia won...again.

I'm done.

The rest of you internationalists can meet me on the harbour bridge for a ritualistic mass suicide.

 

[lockyno1]

Good victory, right result for the series! Now I'll be going for the Poms next week!

 

[NZ Warrior]

f**king gutted. All you would-be coaches out there, keep a tape of this game. Because that was a dead-set example of how to lose a game, when you are 7 points ahead with 6 mins to go.

Utter horse sh*t, f**k you Nigel Vagana. You have just taken Toopi's crown as the stupidest f**k in the Kiwis team.

 

[philstorm]

Amazing game - I didn't think my respect for Inglis could increase any more than it did tonight!

Thurstan and Lockyer also had great games!

 

[strewth_mate]

Frustrating how 3 minutes of momentum can turn a game on its head.

Australia really didn't deserve to win that one, given how clueless they looked for much of the match. Fair enough, they ground out a victory, and had a few tries disallowed, but if you're going to grind out a victory I'd prefer to do it when the opposition has a chance to handle the ball at least once during a time when you score 12 unanswered points.

At least this one doesn't come down to the video ref. I had a feeling that straight away, when Hunt's try was disallowed towards the end of the match, all the comments on here would have been about the Kangaroos being robbed, and it would have ruined what was up til then a reasonably fair and impressive match. As is stands, this is probably a rather hollow victory. Happy we won, but I think the Kiwis deserve a bit more credit than the headlines tomorrow screaming about Inglis or Gasnier.

Deadset Greg Inglis is a deadset freak!! unbelievable!!
Mind you i have no idea why Hape was so far infield...NZ actually had numbers on the aussies as Hodges was playing the ball... but deadset Inglis hes a absolute freak!
