Rugby League Tri-Nations 2005

Im just gutted that Jones is finally returning to some good form and he;s a) no longer at the Warriors & b) about to play what will certainly be his last game for the Kiwis.

18-0 after 27 minutes, could get interesting

 

[superkingdave]

26-0 at half time, Hape in the bin, Deacon off with a bust nose, Carney with a brace but off with hamstring trouble

He will play for them next year.

Best thing about the result is that it sets up a cracker of a game next week. If ever I wanted an Australian side to win, next week is it.

Oh and well played great britan.. totally dominant, although our boys didn't turn up. So much for McCleanen being a wonder coach.

 

[Tim]

I like the attitude that the new coaching staff are bringing to this team, but i think there might also be a bit too much arrogance at times..particularly when they haven't really achieved much yet.

NZ are obviously going to be sweating on Australia now, but its going to be a huge match because no doubt G.B will be on a high now.

 

[shaka]

Probably the first time they support Australia

Match about to get under way..

Should be a cracker.

For sure. Go Aussies. Won't be allowed back into Australian air-space if they fail to make the Final. Anyway, how long has this series dragged on for! It's a great concept, but should perhaps be a little less protracted.

IIRC GB need to win by at least 3 to make final. If we win by 3-7 it'll be us v Oz in final but if it's more than 7 points it's us v NZ.

Obv if we lose we're screwed....

Spot on.

*prepares self for Eddie and Stevo*

 

[superkingdave]

some mistakes from both sides early on, conditions are a bit nippy

 

[luckyeddie]

Why can't we just play 39 minutes a half?

 

[steds]

Minichiello to O'Meley looked forward to me, but it was coming ever since Carney scored. The Aussies picked up their game.


At least Deacon's injured. We've got some sort of a chance with a decent scrum half.

[steds]

Oh dear.

 

[steds]

Goodbye GB.

 

[luckyeddie]

The moral of the story is, make sure the Aussies have only got 12 players on the pitch.

 

[Zinzan]

I not convinced New Zealand even deserved to make the final after their last game against GB. Having said that..........We'll take it.

 

[superkingdave]

Wow - 22-0 to NZ after 55 minutes
