Fulltime Update:The Kiwis errors made it to hard to gain victory, just being able to hold on in defence and then dropping the ball not giving them any chance to create any oppurtunities which lead to tries straight of the error!!! Try in the second half took away any chance of a Kiwi comeback. Injuries for both sides to Kiwi prop Sam Rapira who has broken his arm, likely to miss out on the Warriors game on Sunday against the Titans. For Australia star centre Greg Inglis went off the field with an injured leg, he did not return back into the game. FINAL SCORE 20-10 Australia. (Better Luck next Time Boys!!!)
Live Halftime Update:The Kiwis were very sloppy in the first half,conceding an early try from a miss calculation from fullback Lance Hohaia with the try going to Australian flyer:Billy Slater. The Kiwis were not looking like creating any opportunity in the first part of the half leading to errors causing a try to new comer Jharl Yow Yeh. The Kiwis were mostly stuck in their half for the whole half, luckily second rower Sam Thaiday dropped the ball to give the Kiwis a chance before the half ended. Luckily stronger Warrior busted through then giving rookie Matt Duffie his first try of his rep career.
Hopefully the Kiwis will be able to pick themselves up to scoop up yet another, but the Aussies are looking pretty sharp on defence. Can the Kiwis do it yet again????

Well it was close up until the last ten minutes or so, I think that we played well, kept it close but some of the errors were quite unfortunate. We won't be playing Australia for another five months so that's time to reflect, and plan ahead. Who was your player of the game for each team? Billy Slater for the Kangaroos?
