hang your heads in shame channel nine for not showing the kiwis collecting the trophy

they did on sky and what a brilliant haka.
supurb game and miles ahead of anything GB/england could produce

Did you notice how fast the Aussie crowd left the stadium
The place was nearly empty when the Kiwis went to pick up the trophy
Well done New Zealand great game based on great defence Super League teams take note!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The haka was amazing as usual

The Aussies in general are arrogant and a set of bad losers, and their media is the worst culprit of them all, disgrace. And the biggest disgrace is that they went early to 'Hey Hey it's Saturday' now I'm not sure of you've had the pleasure of seeing this show but its like walking back in time 20 years, oh hang on, thats actually what it's like in Australia

Great game....had everything. Feel very sorry for Brent Tate though.

Show me a good loser & I'll show you a loser, someone once said.

That is always the issue when a team is used to winning & why it makes it all the sweeter when the underdog wins.

Re the Aussies, Parky came up with a good quote.
He said that the Aussies were the most level headed nation on the planet, they have a chip on both shoulders.

Im sick of hearing this 'underdog' tag given to NZ. Check the record books for the last five years, 2 three/four nations titles and a world cup, that's better than the Aussies record, don't believe the arrogant Aussie hype.

Imagine what the Aus press are going to be like when we retain the Ashes!

Their the best at "soccer" aswell don't you know!

The Battle of Thermopylae resurrected in the form of a rugby league final today as a brave New Zealand side struggled against the Persian-esque Australian side. Despite all the odds New Zealand had to over come to be even on the level playing field of the Australians, it was a Kiwi win. Most put this amazing feat down to the Leonidas like leadership from New Zealand Captain Benji Marshall who had an inspirational game side stepping an Australian defence that is renowned world wide as rugby leagues very own Korean Demilitarized Zone.
