What a try by the kiwis. Awesome game this. Huge hits. No 16 for NZ is unstoppable! Shaun Johnson for player of the tournament.

Shaun Johnson! SHAUN JOHNSON! ............SHAUN ............JOHNSON ............!

Johnson and Forlan are excellent and Issac but so has been Jennings for OZ and Inglis.

All five are stand out payers and any of 5 could stack a claim for player of the tournament.

Cherry Evans and Cronk are no match.

Haha. He's certainly showing up Cherry Evans. Aussies are missing Thurston(who wouldn't tho)

In Foran and Johnson the kiwis must have the most devasting halves pairing in international league. Both still only about 24/25.

They are, but top international RL isn't that deep.

...so its not that hard to have the best backs.



Thurston and Hayne would have been a difference kettle of fishes though.

Ha ha ha....

Trust Cronk and Cherry Evans come up with that and answer our critic.

And I earlier called the NZ no 16 unstoppable....he's just been stopped!

I'll tell you something, it's deeper than international RU in this country. The threequarters of England, NZ and Aus would destroy any of the home nations.

Good game so far, Aussies looked rattled at halftime, but that try has changed everything for the moment.

Cherry Evans doesn't look like a rugby player. He's all limbs and neck! A giraffe!

Johnson, that was pure genius.

The dummy was outrageous. Then he backed himself to beat Inglis with pace. This is a brilliant game. NZ might just regret missing the conversion though.
