The commentator reckons the Aussies are scoreless bacause of our defence. I reckon it's because they have dropped the ball. Sort out their handling and it might not be a pretty watch.

Aus kicking game far better too

NZ wingers getting exposed easily in defense.

Do our good young wingers have it a bit easy through the grades.. bit of flat track bully syndrome .. so don't look to work on defense as much as the should.. particularly positional defense

Good direct running there. Thought the halfback had fucked it by getting isolated

That was nicely done.

Good to see advantage used well

Well, that was impressive.

Apart from the kick. Harry Godfrey has looked a bit lost at the back

He had a good injection in the first attack... but certainly lost after that

Getting bullied up front isn't not a good look

NZ just not cleaning out quickly or effectively enough.... hard to believe TAB had Aus at $3ish earlier today after watching the 1st 25mins

This Tahlor Cahill cleans bodies at rucks well. Pity his teammates aren't as good.

Its very much individuals rather than 2 and 3 at a time.. .Aus seem to out number us every ruck.

The Aussie number 1 has the perfect face for a front rower.

Nasty collision between two Aus players there...

Nicely done. Good passing skills.

Was wondering why that HIA wasn't called straight away after the try

I want Tangitau to play for a team I support

@SouthernMann I was just thinking how good he would look in a Highlanders strip

Springer looked faster last year playing NPC. I thought he didn't look that quick for the Saders and he looks the same today. I keep waiting for him to put the after burners on.

Good to see they found a children's size jumper for Hurley
