The Kiwis: Can They Upset the Aussies Again???

The annual Anzac test is almost ready to get under way with the World Champions and the Four Nations champions, “The Kiwis” taking on a hungry Australian side. The Kiwis selection of players are more picked for defensive. I would also choose a defensive side with the Aussies choosing a very offensive team.

The Kiwis have chosen the likes of Simon Mannering, Sam Rapira and Ben Matulino all from the Warriors!!! The forwards for the Kiwis will be a big factor if the Kiwis want to win! Our forwards are one of the little ways that we can beat these very good Australians. We have chosen a variety of forwards, Sam Rapira, he is a very reliable forward who makes outstanding metres from his spectacular charges down the field. Fui Fui Moi Moi, he will also be another big factor in this Kiwi side. Stephan Kearny will surely use him properly as he can create big turning points for his side.
The Kiwis have also chosen a very fearsome back row. Jeremy Smith, Bronson Harrison and Adam Blair. All very well known players in the League world. But the one of the biggest factors would have to be have the current best player in the world playing in your team, Benji Marshall. He will be absolutely crucial to what will happen on the night. It’s a case of if he turns up on the night. I’m sure that he can lead our Kiwis to yet another victory. Let’s all support the boys as they bravely take on Australia in the Gold Coast. There playing this week on Friday. COME ON KIWIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Tigers Have A Buy this week!)

Kiwis:Almost There Boys

The Kiwi Jersey brought an unexpected attitude to the game. They played a lot better than expected and could of drawn but lost to the Australians 8-12. The young pack of Kiwis played with loads of momentum and had the Aussies on there feet for quite a while. Debutant Zeb Taia had a good game for a start. He made a few yards and gave them a few offloads.

The Kiwis were well in the game throughout the opening half but the score went to the Australians 6-0. But through the beginning of the second half the Australians ran in a try for Dragon Winger Brett Morris which gave him two tries for the night. With ten minutes on the clock the Kiwis had to do something. So a Kiwis move and a perfect execution from Lance Hohaia gave Dragons right side Winger Jason Nightingale a try in the corner. Rabbitohs superstar hooker Issac Luke missed the kick from out wide and the score remained 12-4.

With five minutes left the Kiwis sent Junior Sau over the line with his incredible strength. Once again Issac Luke missed the conversion and the game seemed like it was over with the score 8 to 12. In the end the Kiwis played a really good game losing by 4 points this was only because of conversions.

Let's hope the Kiwis will take the confidence from that game and crush them in the Four Nations Thanks to http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/image.cfm?1 for the picture. GO THE TIGERS!!!!!!!(Next game against the Rabbitohs!!)

We are the CHAMPIONS of the WORLD!!

Can you believe that we just won the WORLD cup title (Trophy) We have made history. It is the first time that the MIGHTY Kiwis won against Australia in a world cup (Kangaroos) and it is the first time that the kiwis have won ever in the history of World Cup Rugby League. In fact the Rugby League world cup began in 1954 but the Rugby Union World Cup only began in 1987 (When The All Blacks Won!!) Sometimes in the game I just couldn’t describe how the Kiwis played through out the game. It was a very good competitive first half because it was a very tight score. My most favourite try was when Billy Slater was about to be pushed out to the out line by the BEAST (Manu Vatuvei) and Billy Slater chucked the ball in just in time before he went out and chucked it right in to the hands of the one and only Benji Marshall who ran to the score line with a smile on his face. Every one was raising their hands and screaming with joy with their hands in the air. I think that Nathan Cayless made the most metres for the Kiwis. The score was 34-20 what a good score for the Kiwis to win against Australia in the world cup final. The prize giving at the end was cool because I liked it when the Kiwis walked on the stage to get their medals. THE MIGHTY KIWIS HAVE ACHIEVED THE IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!
