Other: Rugby League: ANZAC Test

[-D-S-B-]

Australia vs New Zealand in the annual, one off, ANZAC Test.

 

[-D-S-B-]

It's gonna be real difficult for the Kiwis. The team obviously isn't picked on form if we have Mannering in the centres, McKendry starting! and Lewis brown can't even make the bench

At those odds though, it's pretty hard not to bet for us to win

This match would mean so much more if it was actually on Anzac day, and New Zealand could actually host it once in a while.

It's pretty funny how the home team's won it everytime, but in 12 years we've only hosted it once.

 

[-D-S-B-]

Well we were supposed to be hosting it this year, then the earthquake happened. I can see why it was moved to the Gold Coast and yeah it helps the Warriors but surely the NRL could've done what they do every other year and give the Warriors the bye this week and move the test to another NZ centre.

 

[CG123]

IIRC only five Warriors play for the Kiwi's, which is the same amount as the Bronco's who play for the Wallabies.

Also don't all the NSW teams get byes, because of City vs Country?

 

[hedger_14]

Go City!

And Australia, I guess

 

[CG123]

Lol, none of you guys won.

Australis 20 - 10 New Zealand

 

[hedger_14]

lol, I didn't know I could settle bets

And what about New Zealand's last try. Kieran Foran is a gun. Beautiful pickup, dummy then a great kick back to set up the try.

 

[-D-S-B-]

That try pissed me off, Hohaia didn't deserve to sugar-coat his usual crap performance. Here's to hoping he doesn't back up!

But yeah Foran is the man.

 

[hedger_14]

I would have thought Foran would play five eighth and Benji would play half back but it was the other way around. But yeah, he's a really good tackler, and you see him tackle the biggest men a lot of the time, and he's a very good kicker and passer as well, but you do have to say he's one of the best youngest players in the league at the moment.

And yeah, I don't like Hohaia and he played ████. They need to get someone else in there for him.

 

[CG123]

I changed channel when Australia went 20 - 6 up, so I missed the last try.

We just made way too many errors, in the middle of the second half IIRC we made four in a row, two of which led to trys.

Was painful to watch wasn't it. Moimoi was making a huge impact making easy metres then he dropped the ball mid set two possessions in a row which basically ended our hopes.
