Good match on the whole imo.

Australia, Technically poor in attack and attitude. defence, ok.

Kiwis, good enthusiasm and defence. Some good structured attacks.

Both will get better.

God help France

Edited for accuracy

Awesome game of Rugby League, NZ's forwards were immense, both teams will give us a good old fashioned pasting.

Great defence by the kiwis on the whole. Greg Inglis won them the point in my opinion. Australias pack didn't look great and I thought NZ were the better side. Still was a great match to watch. Still think Aus will beat us though

Cracking game to watch.
Completely ruined again though having to listen to the constant hollering of MOVE after every tackle FFS is it really necessary?

Different class.

Fantastic Rugby League match of the highest standard.

I didn't think a draw was a fair result. I thought New Zealand deserved to win but credit the Aussies they never know when they are beaten.

Lord help England next week.

Agreed. How New Zealnd drew that match is beyond me. Australia to me didn't look as strong as they did in the world cup. Maybe England can provide 1 upset in this tournament. We all do go on about our abysmall world cup performance but we played NZ twice and were pretty evenly matched in both. Australia will beat us but I think we have a chance against NZ if we stay disciplied.

They already have....on Friday night

I'd sack Sheens now! With that amount of talent in the backline their attack was woeful. How many sets in NZ 20? Apart from the Cam Smith offload in the middle of the field and a couple of Inglis breaks they lacked fluency, cohesion and played far too much one out grind. NZ forwards must have been licking their lips the way the Australians kept insisiting on running straight at them and getting chewed up.

Whoever told Sheens they could win it in the forwards is a clown!

God help both.

The Aussie pack sees much weaker than usual, maybe it was down to the way New Zealand played but either way, Lockyer and Thurston were quiet all game. If England have any sence, they would pay it down the middle just like the kiwis did.

Yeah I think they went for their most explosive back row in Waterhouse, Hoffman and Watmough. I'd be surprised if Gallen, Hindarsh, or both, didn't make the cut for the next games to add a bit of steel to the pack.
