Just too many spuds in the Australian team.
What was with kick-off being at 9pm kiwi time? Crazy!
Now it just makes me look forward to seeing the Kiwis over here next year even more!
No doubt had an effect on the crowd. No early game either, so not much else to draw people in at that time of the night.
They went to the local gov that paid the most, although I think they also wanted to expose test football to new areas so they have the interest to be able to take games back to those grounds in 2017 for the WC. They could have got near 40k at eden park at a decent hour, Auckland didn't get a game in the whole tournament and it's the strongest league area in the country.It seems they chose quite a small stadium for the Final. Do you think there was the interest there to have potentially filled a bigger stadium in another city in NZ, AuckMel?
Rothfield is an idiot, Australia lost in the forwards, anyone who knows anything about rugby league knows that, the kiwis ran over the top of us and maybe next time they will select a forward pack in the 24 man squad. Player selection is just as important as performances on the field and NZ beat us in both regards.Thankfully the fans have taken this much better than the media who have looked for excuses rather than giving the Kiwis much credit.
