There is an enormous gap in ability between the two teams.
This looks like tests from the 90s where we would start full fo aggression and bluster and then get pumped

Mulitalo has some bunnies. Great try

Wayne Bennett has done wonders for Isaako

A key difference from those dark days is that at least our forwards are fit these days.

It’s the work of the spine where Aussies are all over us. Getting Joey more involved will help us.

The injection of Grant has put us on the back foot

After everything, we're only 6 down...

If Aus picked a decent fullback they would go a lot better

Imagine Ponga or Walsh out there?

ACT Crusader

Line speed from the Aussies is excellent.

mariner4life

That was awesome from Hammer

ACT Crusader

Aussies doing a brilliant illegal job at lying on our side and just making it hard for us to get quick play of the balls

They really push the 10m as well.

ACT Crusader

Watching Munster live, he’s even more of a whinging idiot than when watching the TV

We have no attacking shape at all

Yeah we don’t have any general’s out there. Jahrome is a decent player but we need SJ out there to control the play.

ACT Crusader

We make a half break and no one is on the shoulder.

ACT Crusader

Basic stuff, protect the play of the ball area.

Eek, it's getting embarrassing now.

Although, I'm still kind of confident for next week. I haven't seen a recent Kiwis team this flat. This is like an early 90s team.

ACT Crusader

Our cricket team better….

I'm not a horse guy so I'm now pinning everything on the ABs to restore national pride ... there goes my previous feeling of calm before that match.
