Always said that those run off areas are dangerous.

Well what a damp squib, it makes last week even harder to take, we would have been far better than the kiwis in the final

What a TRY.



Its a shame that it was scored by someone in a green and gold jersey.

Ill be honest Getting bored now.
Aus have been flawless
NZ have been Poor to put it politely

Its a great stadium to play finals in but Its Dangerous for rugby league.

How disappointing.
New Zealand look awful
Boring game.

So far a master class from the Aussies, the bitterness of last weeks defeat seems to be clouding people’s judgement.

I too wish England had made the final, however, it wouldn’t have made a blind bit of difference to the inevitable outcome - an Aussie victory.

Poor play again there by NZ.

If only New Zealand had more NRL players in their team as we know its the intensity of the games in that league that makes Australia beat England!

What was SBW doing then?

And if only they had quick halfbacks, cos that's what you need from your halfbacks

sorry but new zealand have been absolute dire here, tackling technique is dire. Aus have played flawlessly pretty much but kiwis forwards just haven't turned up.

This is a ruthless, flawless kangaroo side. We need to remember they have not conceded a single try since their first game. They do not have any weaknesses. The best Australia side I've watched in more than 30years. It's both beautiful and painful to watch.

Normally when a legend of the game retires like Lockyer you sort of expect a team to get weaker but it just sort of hasn't seem to of happened.

Nice one SBW.

Australia have won really. SBW has gifted them a try there .

JT has been class but BIlly slater has had his bast game in at least 2 years.

Thurston named man of the match, Personally I would of given it slater or Thaiday but its still a good choice.

To be fair, I think the kiwis left everything on the pitch at wembley last week, and they've not put in the challenge they might have. But you can't take away from this. I switched from BBC to premier after the miracle try because Davies was talking about "just doing the basics right". But it's not just the basics. Some if the skill has been breathtaking. Split-second decisions at full speed involving subtle and near-impossible skill. I don't think a rugby league team has ever existed which could have beaten the Aussies today.

We could pretend New Zealand scored a TRY

Well done Australia they absolutely deserved that. ( trust me it pains me to say that).

Anybody know the reason why SBW wasn't selected in the New Zealand 17 today?

SBW disappointed me in this game, he only seemed to want to get involved once the match was lost. Also proves that if we want to be the best as many of the Englandteam need to play in the NRL.

Poor end to the tournament , the Aussies didnt need top gear

All of the NZ team play NRL.....how did that work out for them today?
