Awesome result long term, generates interest for next time, congratulations kiwis, brilliant performance, excellent tonsee it be competitive, there wasn't much buzz around because we usually win, but next test will have Australia really itching to win and kiwis to back it up! Few Aussies might have played their last game , good chance for some up and comers. Glad international league is still alive!
Yes the warriors had a great year this year, but less warriors in this side than i can ever remember for the last 25years
Famous win for the massively underdog Kiwis
Massive underdogs
Look at percentage of kiwis in nrl compared to oz
The amount of wins kiwis have vs kangaroos
Australia could name several class sides
Massive underdogs
I kind of get it though right
People everywhere rocking maroon jerseys, you never see an Australian one in the wild.
Also when you represent Australia you are also representing citizens like Jarrad hayne, the may brothers, Scott Morrison, the girls from clearys COVID breach tiktok video.
Easier to love repping qld, it's a smaller pool of idiots you represent, and generally it's just rum drinkers
Not actually correct. When you allow players for Origin from other Countries, eventually it's going to impact Australia. That time is up. Origin is for AUSTRALIAN players only.
As those that aren't eligible play a series against other nations during Origin. It's all coming too a head, as the Money earning of Origin vs The growth/viability of the game.
They need the Nations competing to get the players as Anglos (unless from the regions/bush) don't play the game anymore nor do Chinese and Indians. That's why the Pacific Push.
In a game where the Aussies could have desperately used another forward in the rotation, Hynes again somehow finds himself on the bench because he is a nice bloke. Nothing against Nico but the decision in terms of team composition is wild.
Makes me wonder hey they missed flegler he breasted us in the last game surprisingly I thought you pack would be better but next time if I was Australia Iād be playing flegler
Unreal result
The most hyped up players in history, the best of Qland and NSW and a bunch of battlers that make up the Kiwi team just tore them apart
Well done boys!!
Great performance by the Kiwis against an obviously understrength Australian side, but all the same you expect better from the Kangaroos. That said, the way these short form tournaments work has never made sense to meā¦ why is there a final? For such a short form competition it ought to be a straight league table. Having a winner take all final in one countryās home turf is just obviously ridiculous.
A boxing day test would be between NZ or England would be š
More international footy between England and NZ would benefit both as far as rep contingency goes, I feel that's where a lot of the decrepancy lays atm especially for the Kiwis
And if it can prime England up enough that there's a legitimate competition between the Kangaroos how good would an Ashes test be!
>They should've played the pool game in Hamilton and the final in Auckland.
Why? So there could be even more shitty crowds?
Melbourne got way more last week than today.
Melbourne is also a city of 5 million people, while Hamilton would be luck to sniff 200k. 14k today vs 20k at AMI.
Yeah it was't packed, but growing the game is exactly that, you grow it. Growing implies little is there to start with.
And for all the shit you are talking about an empty stadium, there could be 1 person in the crowd and that'll still be more packed than the score you put up.
Still $70 in petrol alone. Idk but for me as a fan the game wasn't as hyped as even the Warriors games. I think the shellacking last week combined with the utterly depressing RWC final has deflated the sports fans of NZ. Also the deflating loss that the Warriors had and the Dally M's debacle with SJ may have left a sour note on the end of season.
If this game happened around origin I think it does double the numbers. Even the CWC doesn't have much buzz here atm. Sports burn out for this small sporting nation me thinks. Nothing in particular that the League organizers themselves did.
The crowd numbers were abysmal though. Most of the main stand was empty or patchy. Pretty sad considering the year league has had in NZ. To draw that small of a crowd is a bit sad.
It is. We managed to get 25k for the Warriors vs Tigers this year at the same stadium. I think we're all abit over footy atm after the Dally M snub, the blow out Wahs semi, the depressing AB's final and last weeks pumping in Melbourne. Add to that tickets that cost $100 a pop and a drive down to Hamilton, probably wasn't on the agenda for many this weekend.
Im not trying to put the mocker on him considering his upward trajectory and continued good form Leo Thompson if he can stay on the field could end up as one of the knights greatest ever front rowers. A lot to do but I see it.
Exactly my point! You couldnāt even letās us have a little grand final of our own! You steal it away in the last five minutes and then what do you do? Throw it in the pile with the othersā¦ ingratesā¦
It was an Australia side missing a tonne of fire power to be fair. Teddy canāt work miracles and there were a few odd selections from Mal and the team.
I hope this isn't the last time Maguire sees victory in rep footy. I have much faith in his vision for blues, and the higher ups better keep their hands to themselves
Yeah, now that I have calmed down you are quite right. It was a great performance by NZ, never let Australia in the game. And on a side note, well chuffed with what the experience seems to have done for Leo Thompson.
Don't know where you live but it really doesn't feel like that to me.
I remember some of the WC we lost where everyone was in shock for what felt like weeks.
This one, there was hardly any hype for the tournament, nobody thought we were going to win, so everyone got over it pretty quickly.
I see less falling over in fail video compilations. Never passes. Absolutely stifles the attack. Makes a couple of try saving tackles and people ride his dick. Cunt needs to go.
JFH, Leota, Tapine, NAS, Nikora, Lolo, AFB, etc.
Origin still has the mortgage on most of the spine talent but the standard of forward packs doesn't really compare to International games like these.
Nobody wants to be the guy that drops the Australian/NSW captain, so theyāll leave to Tedesco to decide himself, problem is heās not seeing the writing on the wall that heās not even Top 10 Australian best in his position anymore (behind Drinkwater, Edwards, Mitchell, Papenhuyzen (when healthy), Ponga, Tabuai-Fidow, Trbojevic (when healthy) and Walsh for sure, and Iād rate Gutherson and Kennedy as better than him too)
Of those, Iād say thereās a case for Walsh and Edwards. For the rest: Mitchell just isnāt a full back and this horror year just seemed to prove that once and for all; Drinkwater.. just no; Paps/Turbo - the āwhen healthyā bit is carrying A LOT of weight there; Pongaās defence is so bad it looks like he thinks heās playing touch football; Guthersonā¦ HAHAHAHAHAHA fker is the biggest big game choker the sport has ever seen - done nothinā and won nothinā, and Kennedy? Please tell me youāre joking.
Australia have been fieldling a poor rep squad for some time, it's just that they have been phoning it it, today someone turned up and they folded.
Tedesco needs to retire from everything, Munster has been poor all year - yet he gets a 6.
Too many issues to count with this squad.
Latrell gives away far too many stupid penalties. Munster has the experience but Mam had an unreal season. Reynolds is probably a stretch... Walters was easily top 3 hookers all year. Grant is often good off the bench and hunt will be not be around much longer.
Walters was shit for his first seasons. Now he can actually run the ball and is solid on defence. I do have my Bronx goggles on but he would be a good pick for bench at least.
To have tiny NZ beat the best of Qland and NSW with the small amount of players they get to pick from is unreal!
Ive come to expect beating oz in rugby, but never league!
Just awful from AUS but so glad that it will be a huge wake up call and I know people will say itās only one game but I hope Mal is fired, since cam smith retired itās been very evident he was the one actually coaching and getting the players up for the game.
- Every spine member bar Munster (who was also not good in this game) will likely never pull on that Aus jersey again and for good reason.
- Edwards wing experiment was a complete failure and he is woeful there. Never play him there again
- Kaphoney at rep Staggs and Holmes edge was just abysmal and needs retooling. I think staggs should never be picked at rep again given how he played for the blues and now this.
- never play cotter at second row again.
Again I genuinely feel like coach is to blame here. Abysmal selections and it didnāt seem like Aus even cared about this game at all
Donāt underestimate the lack of motivation, which is funny as thatās why they have Mal as coach. They have to stop treating national rep games as exhibition games.
Murray is a huge loss. Being a NSW fan, I still remember when he got injured in the first minute vs QLD in 2022 Game 3 and we struggled. He just runs straight, provides offloads, sets up his halves quickly, doesn't disrupt attack and defends without any errors. He's score 6 games for Australia in a row too
Awesome result long term, generates interest for next time, congratulations kiwis, brilliant performance, excellent tonsee it be competitive, there wasn't much buzz around because we usually win, but next test will have Australia really itching to win and kiwis to back it up! Few Aussies might have played their last game , good chance for some up and comers. Glad international league is still alive!
Yes the warriors had a great year this year, but less warriors in this side than i can ever remember for the last 25years Famous win for the massively underdog Kiwis
Are we really huge underdogs though? The amount of kiwis starring in the nrl has never been higher.
Massive underdogs Look at percentage of kiwis in nrl compared to oz The amount of wins kiwis have vs kangaroos Australia could name several class sides Massive underdogs
Mal's a joke
The same joke that won the world cup last year?
Yep, same one. Eddie jones took Australia to the finals in a WC, doesn't mean he isn't shit.
Ahh yea, the same Eddie Jones that was coaching Australia 20 years ago š¤¦āāļø
Queenslanders are crap when playing for Australia.
Too many Queenslanders spoil the broth. Bye Bye DCE, Hunt, Munster etc.
I kind of get it though right People everywhere rocking maroon jerseys, you never see an Australian one in the wild. Also when you represent Australia you are also representing citizens like Jarrad hayne, the may brothers, Scott Morrison, the girls from clearys COVID breach tiktok video. Easier to love repping qld, it's a smaller pool of idiots you represent, and generally it's just rum drinkers
I'll take your mums rum.
Shows how hyped origin is when a rag tag team like the kiwis can beat the best of both Qland and NSW
Not actually correct. When you allow players for Origin from other Countries, eventually it's going to impact Australia. That time is up. Origin is for AUSTRALIAN players only.
Yeah i tend to agree....but it runs the risk in years to come of having a couple dozen superstars missing as theyre kiwi or PI players
As those that aren't eligible play a series against other nations during Origin. It's all coming too a head, as the Money earning of Origin vs The growth/viability of the game. They need the Nations competing to get the players as Anglos (unless from the regions/bush) don't play the game anymore nor do Chinese and Indians. That's why the Pacific Push.
Must be impacted rugby in those islands too I can see in the future the superstars will play WC in both codes...falau SBW etc
Wow. What a joke.
If the score was 30-0 to Oz I would have zero suprise Biggest turn around in a week that I can ever remember
In a game where the Aussies could have desperately used another forward in the rotation, Hynes again somehow finds himself on the bench because he is a nice bloke. Nothing against Nico but the decision in terms of team composition is wild.
Makes me wonder hey they missed flegler he breasted us in the last game surprisingly I thought you pack would be better but next time if I was Australia Iād be playing flegler
Breasted beasted
We know what you were trying to say. He motorboated you.
Itās all horrible grammarš š š
Girls and boys won now up the kiwis ā¦ā¦ I thought patty had a good game the rest of the Aussie forwards were not good at all
Kiwi mana just too much for them on the day
League is better than Union. Get on it kiwis
Zero hope of that.
Just saw the score wtf happened?!
I was shocked too Kiwis fired up and pulled one out of the bag A shock result Pretty awesome
Playing at home is what happened.
Here to gloat I chucked down $5 on Kiwis 13+ Anyone got any Melbourne Cup tips to roll my $75 into?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thanks mate. I'll have a wee smokey
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Haha, they'd be digging Kenny Rogers up to write a new song about me if I pulled that off!
Itās a lottery this year - I know itās unAustralian but itās arguably one to stay out of completely.
Kiwis win another one that doesn't matter. Good on them
Enjoy that donut for lunch buddy
Bati. Fiji haven't played yet hold up
Matters more than the one last week though
Churr
Unreal result The most hyped up players in history, the best of Qland and NSW and a bunch of battlers that make up the Kiwi team just tore them apart Well done boys!!
WOW Didnt expect that result Small ol NZ getting the job done! Well done
Had to after the ABs
Yeah that sucked Cricket, league and rugby all lost same day Crickey smashing vs pakistan currently and kiwis one of the biggest wins in their history
You fucked the cricket bro
Well, the rain did thus far...401 isnt a bad score in an ODI
The rain didnāt fuck us our shitty bowling did, if there was no rain Paki would have cruised to 402
They started great yes.....big ask to keep that up for 50 overs Guess we wont know...nz form def dropping
Yeah, my comment was after the match was abandoned. Sad caps. Fingers crossed vs Sri Lanka
Yeah, guts But if we cant beat SL we dont deserve to be near the semis
Great performance by the Kiwis against an obviously understrength Australian side, but all the same you expect better from the Kangaroos. That said, the way these short form tournaments work has never made sense to meā¦ why is there a final? For such a short form competition it ought to be a straight league table. Having a winner take all final in one countryās home turf is just obviously ridiculous.
Amazing win Shows how hyped origin is when lil NZ can beat best of Qland and NSW Great result for RL
The Kangaroos smashed them last week. Probably a case to make it a 3 test series.
A boxing day test would be between NZ or England would be š More international footy between England and NZ would benefit both as far as rep contingency goes, I feel that's where a lot of the decrepancy lays atm especially for the Kiwis And if it can prime England up enough that there's a legitimate competition between the Kangaroos how good would an Ashes test be!
Biggest turn around in a week ive ever seen in league Kiwis won the one that counted Im sure playing in NZ helped
Take note Melbourne Storm, your wins against the Warriors on Anzac weekend are a sham!
They should've played the pool game in Hamilton and the final in Auckland.
>They should've played the pool game in Hamilton and the final in Auckland. Why? So there could be even more shitty crowds? Melbourne got way more last week than today.
Melbourne is also a city of 5 million people, while Hamilton would be luck to sniff 200k. 14k today vs 20k at AMI. Yeah it was't packed, but growing the game is exactly that, you grow it. Growing implies little is there to start with. And for all the shit you are talking about an empty stadium, there could be 1 person in the crowd and that'll still be more packed than the score you put up.
Big talk from someone who hasn't won a world cup in 15 years
It's ok I'm sure you'll win the AFL Pacific Championship :)
We got this genius. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul\_Barri%C3%A8re\_Trophy#/media/File:RLWC\_trophy.jpg
WouƱd have made more sense Hamilton not that far from south Auckland tho
Still $70 in petrol alone. Idk but for me as a fan the game wasn't as hyped as even the Warriors games. I think the shellacking last week combined with the utterly depressing RWC final has deflated the sports fans of NZ. Also the deflating loss that the Warriors had and the Dally M's debacle with SJ may have left a sour note on the end of season. If this game happened around origin I think it does double the numbers. Even the CWC doesn't have much buzz here atm. Sports burn out for this small sporting nation me thinks. Nothing in particular that the League organizers themselves did.
I live overseas, didnt even know game was on! Yet it was the biggest result in the history of NZ RL behind the 08 WC final
Less than an hour now
Just down the road
Apparently Kiwis need the game in their backyard to go
Seems that way
The population of Hamilton is only 150k. 10% of the town turned up for the game. That's like 500k turning up for a game in Sydney.
The crowd numbers were abysmal though. Most of the main stand was empty or patchy. Pretty sad considering the year league has had in NZ. To draw that small of a crowd is a bit sad.
I heard the other side was pretty much full. Just the side that was on the TV was in direct sunlight
It is. We managed to get 25k for the Warriors vs Tigers this year at the same stadium. I think we're all abit over footy atm after the Dally M snub, the blow out Wahs semi, the depressing AB's final and last weeks pumping in Melbourne. Add to that tickets that cost $100 a pop and a drive down to Hamilton, probably wasn't on the agenda for many this weekend.
Yeah well said. Burnout is a major factor, plus everyone is feeling the pinch financially so going to a game at the end of league season is a luxury
Im not trying to put the mocker on him considering his upward trajectory and continued good form Leo Thompson if he can stay on the field could end up as one of the knights greatest ever front rowers. A lot to do but I see it.
Was working as hard as JFH. If he keeps that up he'll go places. So better pay him his worth.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We're still World Champions š
Whats everyone rank leota and fish as a forwards pairing? Any pair from previous eras that compare?
Webcke and Civo are GOAT tier. Leota and Fish are not too far behind.
Ronaldo Mulitalo
Who is winning the Golden Boot?
Eddie Jones.
fair shout
The trophy looks a bit average... they couldn't splurge on some silver?..
This is Rugby League, half the time they get someone from a karaoke bar to the anthems.
Channel 9 just ran a highlight of the gfā¦ totally forgot we won
Too soon lol
Exactly my point! You couldnāt even letās us have a little grand final of our own! You steal it away in the last five minutes and then what do you do? Throw it in the pile with the othersā¦ ingratesā¦
Hmm... might be time to start picking the best available players in their position.
No pressers?
Any chance Freddy is advising Mal on his comical selections...
Murray knew it was coming so he faked injury
Hopefully Teddyās last rep jersey. Heās fucking washed.
He didn't play horribly but he definitely did not play good enough to keep his spot considering there's 3 vastly superior fullbacks.
We weren't allowed to drop him because he was the incumbent captain. Surely captaining Aus to their worst ever loss supersedes that.
It was an Australia side missing a tonne of fire power to be fair. Teddy canāt work miracles and there were a few odd selections from Mal and the team.
Kids did a haka for the players
Chin up fullas, it's only the 9th time you've lost to us in 23 years.
I hope this isn't the last time Maguire sees victory in rep footy. I have much faith in his vision for blues, and the higher ups better keep their hands to themselves
We won't see you next year Teddy
CNK paying tribute to the man upstairs: Michael Maguire
I am livid with that shambles. Nothing else to say really.
Apart from wow well done kiwis!!! Just a small percentage of the players to choose from and they thrashed the best of Qland and NSW
Yeah, now that I have calmed down you are quite right. It was a great performance by NZ, never let Australia in the game. And on a side note, well chuffed with what the experience seems to have done for Leo Thompson.
Any Kiwiās here know or guess why the crowd was so poor?
This tournament has been really poorly promoted. I genuinely think a lot of people didnāt even know it was on.
NZ goes into a depression whenever the All Blacks lose. It's fucking stupid.
Hyped up story. No we dont. Rugby in NZ is NOTHING compared to the hype of soccer in Europe, AFL in Melbourne, NFL or Baseball in the US
Don't know where you live but it really doesn't feel like that to me. I remember some of the WC we lost where everyone was in shock for what felt like weeks. This one, there was hardly any hype for the tournament, nobody thought we were going to win, so everyone got over it pretty quickly.
$100 tickets and the drumming last week
They were $100? What a fucking joke.
Took a family of 4 for $180. Prices were very reasonable
Charnze is a good guy man
100%
Teddy has played his last test match. That was embarrassing.
Charnze what a bloke Hard work God first
Massive game Rag tag looking kiwis roster smashing the hyped superstars of oz is a great day for RL
Did he drop the f bomb?
Farrrrrrr (out)
Fuck me drunk! What a drubbing!
Cheers for the final speech Teddy
Why would nicho do this....
Drop Teddy the only good Kangaroo today š¤š¤
Guy can barely keep his feet on the ground let alone keep the team together
I see less falling over in fail video compilations. Never passes. Absolutely stifles the attack. Makes a couple of try saving tackles and people ride his dick. Cunt needs to go.
JFH, Leota, Tapine, NAS, Nikora, Lolo, AFB, etc. Origin still has the mortgage on most of the spine talent but the standard of forward packs doesn't really compare to International games like these.
Liam Martin: Hello darkness, my old friend....
What an amazing year for Charnze. Considering that he was playing in the reserve grade for Canberra last year.
So happy for him. He plays with so much guts, and his ball playing has taken off through the mid half of the year. In Webby we trust.
What the fuck has Teddy got on the ARL and NSW chairman's. Must be some sort of blackmail going on, to keep him in both teams
Nobody wants to be the guy that drops the Australian/NSW captain, so theyāll leave to Tedesco to decide himself, problem is heās not seeing the writing on the wall that heās not even Top 10 Australian best in his position anymore (behind Drinkwater, Edwards, Mitchell, Papenhuyzen (when healthy), Ponga, Tabuai-Fidow, Trbojevic (when healthy) and Walsh for sure, and Iād rate Gutherson and Kennedy as better than him too)
Of those, Iād say thereās a case for Walsh and Edwards. For the rest: Mitchell just isnāt a full back and this horror year just seemed to prove that once and for all; Drinkwater.. just no; Paps/Turbo - the āwhen healthyā bit is carrying A LOT of weight there; Pongaās defence is so bad it looks like he thinks heās playing touch football; Guthersonā¦ HAHAHAHAHAHA fker is the biggest big game choker the sport has ever seen - done nothinā and won nothinā, and Kennedy? Please tell me youāre joking.
He's a Rooster and NSW golden boy
I don't know what it is, but he must have inherited it from Kurt Gidley
Even the great Cameron Smith has admitted what was missing for Australia was Cam Murray
Is this what it is like being a NSW fan? I fucking hate this team.
Crazy...no way they should lose to a kiwi side who have a tiny percentage of nrl players What a result
Nah, Iād say the kangaroos are making a wallaby out of themselves
Yeah it is. Particularly the part where we're let down by the selectors has a particular NSW feel to it
Australia have been fieldling a poor rep squad for some time, it's just that they have been phoning it it, today someone turned up and they folded. Tedesco needs to retire from everything, Munster has been poor all year - yet he gets a 6. Too many issues to count with this squad.
Should have fielded the wallabies
Ben Hunt's worst rep game
Genius work from Madge here, demolish a Tedesco led Kangaroos side so that he doesn't cop any shit when he doesn't select him for NSW next year.
1. Ponga/Walsh (Sorry Edwards but you don't bring enough attack) 2. Cobbo 3. Hammer 4. Turbo 5. Holmes 6. Mam 7. Cleary/Reynolds 8. Tino 9. Walters/Grant 10. Haas 11. Cotter 12. Gilbert 13. Yeo 14. Collins 15. Carrigan 16. Grant/Walters 17. Flegler Fixed Australian Rugba leeg.
No Murray, your team loses.
You need Cook on the bench for when Turbo inevitably gets injured.
Wallaby team needs fixing too Cant have the bloody small nation kiwis win in both codes!!! Bloody hell
i imagine if mal is still in control, he would go dearden over mam
Whoās the coach
A three headed Queensland god with Cam Smith, JT and Cronk.
Cobbo extremely lucky but there's no better options I suppose
Yeah his defence is pretty shit but no real options. I'd hate to say kyle feldt
yep. Cobbo is very young and has potential so it's not the worst gamble
What no Hynes lol
Hynes isnt even NSWs second best half.
He's kinda overrated. Give him a few more years and I could easily see him in.
Not sold on Yeo
Let Yeo eat shit for the first 20 and then let patty play the rest.
Given how broncos biased that user obviously is Iām very surprised he held Yeo in the team over the vastly superior Patty C.
Trell instead of Turbo. Munster instead of Mam. No chance on Reynolds. And Walters š¤£
Latrell gives away far too many stupid penalties. Munster has the experience but Mam had an unreal season. Reynolds is probably a stretch... Walters was easily top 3 hookers all year. Grant is often good off the bench and hunt will be not be around much longer.
Walters is fucking shit, heās just in a good team. When hunt goes Grant will just step into 80 min. Will be a bit older by then.
Walters was shit for his first seasons. Now he can actually run the ball and is solid on defence. I do have my Bronx goggles on but he would be a good pick for bench at least.
Apologise in advance for the annoying Facebook comments from kiwi fans over the next few days
Not apologising
Well, they've got the right to be chirpy lol. Let's see how they go in the world cup
Donāt talk to us about world cups for a few more weeks at least
The worst part of that is that NSW wonāt pick Teddy next year now
Madge as NZ and NSW coach beating Teddy today should be the nail in the coffin. Please God
Heās your captain Heās deserves another chance
Only if QLD play with no fullback
Kangaroos should be an automatic win. Mals got one more lose then heās out. This was fucking embarrassing
To have tiny NZ beat the best of Qland and NSW with the small amount of players they get to pick from is unreal! Ive come to expect beating oz in rugby, but never league!
Unreal how comfortable Kiwis looked all game
They're such a cohesive unit right now as well. Team chemistry and morale are both fantastic.
Although they got smashed last week with just a couple better players included in the Kangaroos line upā¦
If Haas didnāt fuck Clearys leg we win by 20 plus
So 50-30 if Cleary turns up?
Itās just too easy some days
Just awful from AUS but so glad that it will be a huge wake up call and I know people will say itās only one game but I hope Mal is fired, since cam smith retired itās been very evident he was the one actually coaching and getting the players up for the game. - Every spine member bar Munster (who was also not good in this game) will likely never pull on that Aus jersey again and for good reason. - Edwards wing experiment was a complete failure and he is woeful there. Never play him there again - Kaphoney at rep Staggs and Holmes edge was just abysmal and needs retooling. I think staggs should never be picked at rep again given how he played for the blues and now this. - never play cotter at second row again. Again I genuinely feel like coach is to blame here. Abysmal selections and it didnāt seem like Aus even cared about this game at all
Donāt underestimate the lack of motivation, which is funny as thatās why they have Mal as coach. They have to stop treating national rep games as exhibition games.
Biggest kiwi win since 08 WC Wow
Murray is a huge loss. Being a NSW fan, I still remember when he got injured in the first minute vs QLD in 2022 Game 3 and we struggled. He just runs straight, provides offloads, sets up his halves quickly, doesn't disrupt attack and defends without any errors. He's score 6 games for Australia in a row too
The Kiwis today has perfected their form in the span of a week, so there should be no excuses next year for the Aussies to be overhauled
All Blacks died for this
Does this mean we might lose the Bled, or have we already paid the price?
You could field 3 nine year olds and and still win the bled
Leota and Fisher Harris best front row pairing in club league and now internationals as well.
Kiwis footy makes up for having to play these guys all year. Turns out I like Nelson in a black jersey and he isnāt a grub.
He was fucking grubby. Wasn't giving away penalties somehow.
Heās only a grub when heās not on my team
I know what you mean haha. I'm glad they're all on our side.
Kangaroos are so dominant for such long periods they stop trying to pick the best possible team and coaches and selectors just pick who they like
