Well - there was no wooping but a deserved win by the kiwi's. Dominated territory and possession. Clearly had the advantage at the breakdown and did extremely well in the loose. It was a stuff it up your jumper game and the kiwi forwards were better than ours. Larkham had a shocker, but the Aussie defence was simply awesome. My respect for Kevin Mealamu has grown immensely - he took a full blooded punch square in the face from Brendan Cannon and shook it off then started swinging. Didn't faze in the slightest - hard man! |
