Yep, a very strange choice of venue for the final

Injured

[NRLandSL]

Great start from NZ

[graveyard johnny]

great try go on NZ

[17 stone giant]

Great stuff so far. Kiwis look really up for it. Fluffed their first chance because of a poor kick, but that was class. Aussie guy ran out to try and intercept and he just floated the pass over the top. Get in!

[graveyard johnny]

NZ cant afford to keep giving easy penalties away

[graveyard johnny]

fooooooorward!

[NRLandSL]

Ronaldo Mulitalo having a blinder

[17 stone giant]

What a tackle on Holmes. Absolute beauty. He was trying all the fancy footwork and trickery, but the defender read it and smashed him as he came inside. That's going to be shown time and again in future.

[graveyard johnny]

try NZ 

[NRLandSL]

Great try from the Kiwis, Edwards showing a bit of inexperience on the wing.

[Abicus]

Sounds like this is on the NZRL

[graveyard johnny]

this is New Zealands game to win or lose - discipline and composure will be the key - DONT  invite Australia back in to the game with silly penalties and mistakes as bodies start to get tired

It’s a turn-up for the books this after last week, but they are good value for the lead. We know how Australia will not lie down though and I’m calling next try wins.

Crowd is even worse than worst-case scenario, unfortunately shows how far the Kiwis brand has fallen and the work that needs to be done in International RL.

Was shocked and very disappointed when I switched the T.V on, weird though, when they swung the camera around, at least one end of the grandstand on that camera side of the ground was packed, why the blazes wouldn`t they have prioritised selling tickets on the other side of the ground.

[NRLandSL]

Australia’s biggest ever loss of 24 points is under threat here.

would hope so but theres a long long way to go yet

[Northern Eel]

Dreadful dummy half pass from Australia and NZ capitalise. I don’t recognise this Australian team currently. 

[HP Beans]

Wow,what a game.Up the Kiwis

[17 stone giant]

The Kiwis have finished their tries superbly today. Right in the corner again. Nice move too.

[graveyard johnny]

YES YES YES!

No.

I don’t think they will lose anyway. I am tipping Aus to win comfortably without being troubled. I’m gonna say Kangaroos by 22

I mean, I think they will lose and Kiwis will win it comfortably by 22

[graveyard johnny]

the  BBC  dont even have this game on their fixture list on their website - disgrace!
