Australia have won really. SBW has gifted them a try there .

JT has been class but BIlly slater has had his bast game in at least 2 years.

Thurston named man of the match, Personally I would of given it slater or Thaiday but its still a good choice.

To be fair, I think the kiwis left everything on the pitch at wembley last week, and they've not put in the challenge they might have. But you can't take away from this. I switched from BBC to premier after the miracle try because Davies was talking about "just doing the basics right". But it's not just the basics. Some if the skill has been breathtaking. Split-second decisions at full speed involving subtle and near-impossible skill. I don't think a rugby league team has ever existed which could have beaten the Aussies today.

We could pretend New Zealand scored a TRY

Well done Australia they absolutely deserved that. ( trust me it pains me to say that).

Anybody know the reason why SBW wasn't selected in the New Zealand 17 today?

SBW disappointed me in this game, he only seemed to want to get involved once the match was lost. Also proves that if we want to be the best as many of the Englandteam need to play in the NRL.

Poor end to the tournament , the Aussies didnt need top gear

All of the NZ team play NRL.....how did that work out for them today?

Must say I thought that closing sequence from the BBC was great.

Well, that was a great demonstration of rugby with some outstanding skill. Perhaps NZ left everything behind last week.



It's been a great tournament, as good as any sport can do.
