The second half of that Tonga v Samoa match was enthralling stuff. Tonga had their chances but lack a bit of game breaking. Well done to Samoa for getting this far.
Man I’m nervous about our match against the Aussies. We will need to play out of our skins and out kicking game will have to be a thousand times better. But we do have a bit of fire power up front that if they bring their A game can trouble the Aussie forwards and make them move around.

We do tend to improve over the course of a tournament away. We are going to have to....

Funnily enough even though our form has been scratchy I think we are capable of pulling a massive game out of our arses because it’s Australia .
But if that did happen and we managed to pull it off , I would be concerned about how we back up a week later .
That would be a kiwis thing to do , beat Australia and then lose to the poms .
-
our best prop rotation will shade theirs. Joey Manu would make the Aussie back line
I don't see where we have any other advantage.
We're going to have to play a kiwi test for the ages to win. Which would mean England pumping us in the final.

And if we somehow, some way, in some lunar eclipse world we do beat the Aussies, I wouldn’t really care what happened after that. Aussie halves are a massive concern for us because they both like to run and take on the line. At the very least we need to crowd them and pressure their kicking game so we don’t get camped in our half.

See there's a Wheelchair RLWC.
Anyone know if there's a difference between Wheelchair League and Union?

Fark me. And to think elements of the Pom press thnk NZ Rugby is arrogant.

They allow head high shots in RLWC?

Not a bad first half by our women team vs the Aussies.
Impressed with our defence. Attack is a little hit and miss.

A physical game with lots of offloads and ball movement has always been the style that can give the Aussies problems , our best victories over them have always been when we perfect that
