            The Australian team is in a bit of bother preparing for the game with a stomach virus affecting several players, especially the halves Cooper Cronk and (English import) Daly Cherry-Evans. 
Former Perpignan-based, Catalans Dragons captain Gregory Bird has described the preparations as "shambolic."

 |  Dally Cherry-Evans is not English. His mum isn't English either, as was incorrectly published by journalists and other idiots with keyboards.

 |  The Aussies would've preferred an Aus/Eng for their chaces of winning but they f**ked up by allowing an English ref (desperate to look neutral) to do the Eng/NZ game. The old Suttpn double act should've been used for that game as well as an Aus/Eng final, to replicate the group game officiating.....and result.

 |  This is a great chance for New Zealand to smash Australia. Only the brilliance of Gregory Inglis can thwart the Kiwi victory plans.

 | I hope that the Kiwis win this one rather than the Aussies as i believe that they as a side would have lost out to a very ordinary Aussie side this time around and one which will revert to normality once the serious International games come around and when they have all rested up enough    
I also can't wait for next years 3 tests v the Kiwis as  i reckon it will be a cracking series, I much prefer these three game series matches to the one off Tri series games anyday

 |  Kiwis need to dominate up front again and starve the roos of ball. If you give this Aussie side a sniff, no matter how bad people think they are, they will run you ragged. 
Heart says Kiwis, Head say thieving b'stard Aussies.
