NZ wasted a penalty going for the try and conceded one instead losing a potential 3 points.

Aussie defence holding well.

 

[Iceman]

Giteau looks in trouble there.

Aussie defence holding well.

Your defence and turnover ability will be key if you are going to have a chance at winning. Looks like you'll be able to keep it super-tight till half time at least.

 

[Iceman]

9-3 now

 

[jmc]

We look spent.

 

[BlackFox]

Try!!

 

[Iceman]

NZ try!!

 

[jmc]

Game over.

 

[BlackFox]

Good time to score right on the HT mark.

 

[jmc]

Typical All Blacks. Scoring right on half time. We wont win from here. We spent most of the half tackling, and had little possession of any worth.

 

[Iceman]

It's gonna take something superhuman for the Aussies to get back into it with this deficit against this team.

 

[jmc]

We have to score first. It's as simple as that.

 

[BlackFox]

What a try and what a start to the second half!!

 

[Iceman]

In case there was any doubt, NZ score another try right at the start of the 2nd half!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

No mercy. Not one sign of nerves. Beautiful.

 

[jmc]

Well that's that then. Congrats Kiwis. Best team in the world.

 

[jmc]

70% possession for NZ.

 

[Hound55]

Still reckon there should have been a penalty for not releasing before Milner-Skudder's try... Fardy was locked in there.

 

[Iceman]

Yellow card for NZ for a dangerous-looking tackle.

 

[jmc]

Maybe there's hope. Yellow card and try.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

A window has been opened.

 

[Iceman]

And now a try. Is this about to get interesting again?!

 

[SuperDave78]

i didnt know a player sits down for 10 min after being called for a yellow card, interesting

 

[BlackFox]

Australia need to make full advantage of this. Could be a heck of comeback. Good game at least for the final now.
