Wow, that was 22 years ago! If he watches the game, I'm sure he'll be backing Samoa tonight, not Australia.

kangaroos are not wound up yet, they will be sweet

Tbh I don’t think that’s a good thing, NZ have been humming along nicely all tournament apart from a weird 20 minute period against the Cooks

Ponga with an extra week to recover with his arm, I think they get this final

7plus/NRL.com seem to be slow in getting up replays so haven't watched it yet.
I get that stats don't tell the whole story. They don't tell how often in that first 20 Tonga had the ball, if he was running decoys or running in support and not used.
I still can't imagine just 2 touches of the ball for a middle forward suggests high involvement, on the attacking side of the ball at least, but am happy to reserve judgement until there is a replay available.

Yep agree , plus the middles they have for hit ups etc reduce a dominant hit up performance. Just seeing plenty of positives from his performance. Hope it continues with the tigers 🤞

I guess when you look at the other ball runners in Taumalolo and AFB , your not gonna get many touches

kiwis will start false favourites, Pomga is due for an ordinary game.

kangaroos forwards will stand up and give grant plenty of room.
kangaroos main weakness is staggs at centre instead of Latrell.
Bostock is a huge weapon on the wing

Listen to those scumbags screaming out during the Langmack minute of silence.
Hope they were kicked out.

Is it really that hard for them to shut their pie hole for a minute FFS

Munster shaking his head too

 

[Speed2burn]

Tino looked like he wanted to smack someone lol

 

[Tucker]

Loose carry.

 

[tig_prmz]

To'o vs Bostock... Wow.

 

[Tucker]

Tommy you legend!

 

[Speed2burn]

Like Swiss cheese

 

[tig_prmz]

Munster is our first choice kicker? Damn.

Considering Walters should have picked Mitchell over Staggs...

Idc if Australia wins , Walters should be questioned

 

[tig_prmz]

Samoa quite slow in the ruck .

 

[Speed2burn]

Aussies will win this 30+

Samoa can’t contain us

 

[Tucker]

Yeah the Kangaroos are on tonight.
Luai playing like a complete spastic, with very poor discipline gifting us good territory and ball.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Grant and Munster have had ordinary world cups, they look to be getting there game on with two games to go
as some have said kangaroos should win this 40 plus

 

[upthetigers]

New Zealand and Tonga are a level above Samoa
