If ever there was a doubt how much better the Aussies are thna everyone else i think thye just showed it.
A Team without
Hodges,
Gasnier,
Mason,
Brett Stewart &
Crocker just took NZ apart. The truth is it should have been more. Defence Brilliant and
Locky and
JT controlling it from the first minute.
The Only thing that was wrong was NZ should of had another try when
Slater kicked the ball out.... I think the video ref was high for that one. But then NZ could of has
Matai sent off early.
If teams give
JT &
Locky that much time then you might as well hand them the world cup now. The scary thing is, i thought Australias handling at time was quite poor... quite a few mistakes. So maybe they can get better!
They are just so strong.
Folau is a man beast and
Inglis has the fend off of a god. There was less kicking to
Folau than i expected but then you can't really complain if you have just won and
Folau got two tries. I think at some point in this tournament that will be a big play though.
Oh i nearly forgot that hit on
Tupou... WHAT A HIT!
NZ were pretty poor though, they didn't look much better than the side that came to England last year for the test matches. Gotta remember they've lost players too, I think a few of the Tongan and Somaon players that have played for NZ in the past would still make the squad and of course lost SBW to union.
England are going to have to be a lot better than last week if they want to beat Aus but Smith's a good coach he'll know what needs to be done. A good kicking game's a must, kick balls down Slaters throat all game and we'll get punished, we also need a quick play the ball, Roby was excellent on Saturday and him making good yards scooting from dummy half will be vital.
