Well they dont get any better with these test matches, I was jumping for joy when Gasnier scored, it just shows the never say die attitude in the Australian. Its been happenin for years, I did have a gut feeling when Jones kicked that field goal that it wasnt all over yet. How good is Greg Inglis, he must be the best athlete in any football code. I thought they had a lot of chances in the first half, and mostly the second half. Too many mistakes nearly cost them the game. But they got there in the end, and have finally won in the southern capital in their 3rd attempt.
Ive gotta say that Klein, I dunno how they rate him, he probably couldnt crack it in the NRL again an ordinary performance, and despite the fact he really is an Aussie, he puts on a Pommy accent. Even the Pommy fans reckon Ganson or some other ref are better.
To the Kiwis lift your head up, that was a great effort. Hape, Cayless, Blair played well, but once again just couldnt handle the Australian fightback. Its not over yet, its up for anyone, but if New Zealand lose another game its all over for them.
Test matches are alive and have been for the last 3 years, this Tri Nations has brought back the best in International football.
30,000 was the crowd, but it seemed like there was more. Not too bad, wouldve been happy with 5,000-10,000 more but reducing the capacity didnt help much. Perhaps next time they play a test in Melbourne they'll play at the newly developed one.
Good game overall, lookin forward to the next test.
