And we will still have the pundit's saying we are not far off.Our player's are overpaid and club's are daft enough to pay them too much.The Aussie's can't believe some of the wage's we pay and who can say they are wrong with this showing.Our game want's a root and branch re-structuring and changes to our set up have to be implemented or we either forget about international match's or carry on with over paid players still thinking they are world beater's.At least i can remember when we used to beat the Aussie's(with player's who mostly had very physical job's),how many of today's young fan's will ever see the same.

Carn't believe we beat this team 3 -0 in tests last year ,Now we'd be lucky to win 1 test.

"Respect"

Think thats harsh on Higham as thought he was our best today and its no coincidence that once he got took off we started loosing the ruck due to Sinfield and Burrow taking it in turns as dummy half.

A years a long time and both teams have made alot of changes, Imo we lost it when Smith made about 5-6 changes when Wellens got injured.

I agree with Higham .He played well and gave the Kiwi forwards a hell of a time in the middle of the park.

In International rugby ,No team should get beat by the scoreline we did after been in control for most of the first half.

i would,nt let sinfield near an england shirt again,daft penalty,s and stupid options cost us dearly.

Would agree with that. It is also no coincidence that the Kiwis played their better rugby when Lulu went off.

Come on PNG!

I can't believe how arrogant Sky and Tony Smith are being. The game next week has already been advertised as NZ v England. Even the BBC are saying we "meet again next week". OK it will probably happen but they're discussing it as if it is already agreed and set up. Tony Smith says he'll look at the tape of the match tomorrow, but he might be packing his bags for the journey home and watching the semi final from England next Saturday. Monday morning's video might be the inflight movie.

We were [ushockingly[/u poor in the second half (although the Warrington players did OK eh, Mr Cullen?). I can't honestly see any of the missing players (if we go through) improving us. Sliding defence was awful and contributed to the massive overlap for Vatuvei. My mum might have scored those tries. And moving Burrow etc round was tactically stupid. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Despite the appauling showing so far if we win next week then we are in the final.

I would not put it past us to beat them next week.

Gleeson at 6 was an awful decision.

My team:-

Wellens
Calderwood
Senior
Gleeson
Smith
Pryce
Burrow
Graham
Roby
Morley
Peacock
JJB
Ellis

Higham
Hock
Purdham
Sinfield
