Great start to the game by both teams

The small in goal areas are going to play a massive part in this game.

Great TRY there by slater, pin point kick there by Thurston.

Spot on

What a try saving tackle by Issac Luke

how many grand finals have been played at old trafford with out moaning? typical aussies just dont stop moaning unless its going there way

does gallen ever take a drive at a set lines?

Great play there by the Ozzies

Gallen loves a great high shot doesn't he

honestly its just the little 50/50's that silverwood misses for new zealand but gives everything to aus, but saying that aussies are defiantly playing the better stuff.

Ozzies are in total control of this game. Thurston and Cronk are leading the ozzies around the pitch and their forwards seem to be moving up the pitch with ease. Getting quite worrying IMO

Great defence their by the Australians

like i said COME ON KIWIS!!!

Kiwi's look tired

OZ do the simple things to perfection don't they?

Kiwis are not playing with the intensity of last week.
Let's hope they come out and give it a go.
Come on New Zealand.

Half time NZ 2 - 16 Aus. Australia have been by far the better team in the opening half. new Zealand are going to have to come out with a better kicking game and try and stop the ozzies moving up the field as quick. Also I think Johnson needs to take the ball to the line more often and use his step.

new zealand forwards need a rocket up their and some self belief.

Its been the quietest game that JWH has had for a long time IMO.

well good night new zealand seriously wished we managed to hold on to that game, think we are the only team who caused some problems for Australia.

For crying out loud that was soft. its going to be really tough now for NZ.

I think last weeks game has taken a hell of a lot out of this NZ side, tgey look poor

Also their kicking game had been terrible (incidentally far worse that any England kicking game') who is making the call to put high bombs up against the best fullback in the world?

How disappointing.
New Zealand look awful
Boring game.

They use bombs a lot in the NRL whenever a team is 20 - 30 meters out teams tend to put bombs up no matter who the full back is.

Poor kick there by Shaun Johnson
