On the guide it say 5:30pm Queensland time is when the coverage starts.

 

[Nashy]

So it's live??? No, that can't be right, Nine don't have live sports do they?

 

[Big Pete]

Yep.

Live at 5:30pm

Channel 9

Thanks Danoz for the heads up.

 

[vertigo]

Should be a close contest, wonder if we'll hit it up the guts or go out wide early.

 

[jarro65]

I'd like to see a change of tactics actually ... Throw it wide from the restart and get them on the hop.

The sheepshaggers will be looking to assert some dominance early, so if we play it tight we might actually play into their hands.

 

[Super Freak]

I'm expecting a close game. It's wet weather in Wellington apparently.

I don't have much confidence Australia can win the battle in the middle, so I would really like for them to hit NZ on the edges. They are weak there. Put up some high bombs for Vatuvei and really put pressure on him.

 

[Cult]

Really just depends on whether NZ bother to show up. If they do, it will be close. If they don't we will beat them easily.

 

[Super Freak]

Am I the only one that thinks NZ have looked better without Luke?

From what I've seen, he really hasn't been at his best and it's been hurting them a bit.

 

[Big Pete]

Kiwis 1-17

Australia: Hunt, Jackson & Klemmer come in for Farah, Guerra & Hoffman.

Yes!!!!

Must be a shock for Farah seeing as he has surpassed Smith

 

[Big Pete]

Happy he's there.

Personally, I would have gone with Guerra because I hate the way Sheens uses Hunt as a back-up hooker but hey this could be a huge career booster for Hunt.

I would have preferred Guerra over Jackson.

 

[Danoz Direct]

Typical Sheens, NSW bias.

 

[Big Pete]

Either way, I just hope they find a more suitable way to use Hunt.

 

[Super Freak]

I'm just waiting for a team to turn their backs on the Haka one day.

The shit storm that would create...

 

[Super Freak]

Fucking Mansour...
