| Well, I disagree. I can't believe you think my post was biased???
But in case you didn't follow my first line was about the kiwi's dominating ...
If the weather was better then Aus would have kept the ball in hand more and ran it and it would have been a completely different game. In fact, a more flowing game would suit the Wallabies more because it takes the impact away from the small advantage that the AB's have in the forwards. And as you saw today Aus have the best defence. A dry more open game would be a very even contest. Take Larkhams shocking kicking display out of the equation and it's a completely different story. Think of how he's kicked so far this year, simply awesome if you've seen any of the games. Think of his masterful tactical kicking disply in the 51-15 routing of England. Remember the stats in that game? Eng had the rucks and mauls all over us and had more posession as well!
I agree about a lot of points, I said on the BBC rugby board yesterday that this would be a game that no-one can really predict. If one side didn't defend well then the other side could potentially put a LOT of points on the other with the backlines that both teams possess. Could go either way.
Anyway ... the two kiwi mates I had in my loungeroom watching the match with me agreed ... and at the level that one of them played at, thats enough for me.  |
