Telecast going around the world to all parts of the [Applause] [Applause] globe [Applause] [Applause] here they are kiwis with the [Applause] Harker 3420 they won the World Cup and then they’re beaten last weekend by the same score just got a feeling this is going to be very very good tonight beaten by Australia at Eden Park last weekend would have lowered their

Confidence somewhat they’ll be out to redeem sorry R ironically that 3420 score line is what they beat Australia by in that World Cup final back in 2008 I’m I’m with you I get the feeling that New Zealand they’ll have sat down they’ll have watched the video from last week they’ll have pinpointed certain

Areas the end of sets some decision making and say there there there there that’s what we’ve got to turn around if we get that right we can win Peter Sterling and Phil G in the commentary Booth Wally’s on the sideline and Cameron Smith kicks off for

Australia and it goes into the dead ball area and McKenry brings it out dominant this massive young fellow from pen dominant tackle and he’ll play the ball you heard the word dominant I tell you what he got up very slowly McKenry he might be rolling a little bit rocking and rolling

Just a tad he’s got the wobbly boot on he’s all over the place oh tries to make a dummy half run just to clear this danger zone but the Australian defense in the rck was compressed and now Benji goes inside with the ball for Bronson Harrison and Harrison will play the ball

On the 30 m line so Lula y gives it away and fi wearing the number seven turning the ball over to Jeremy Smith in the 13 jumper one sock up and one sock down I’m not quite sure whether that’s uh got some kind of omen about it but here’s

Slater now marking it back on his 20 M line taking it towards the center and it’s Adam Blair who meets him and Billy slather who scored 15 tries at test level in 11 appearances from memory and can you believe this is only the third time L takiri who plays the ball

Has played rugby league at Sun cor Stadium penalty goes Australia’s way you’re saying Jeremy Smith got one sock up and one sock down I think both socks are down he’s got a guard on what must be a calf injury you can see there it’s not quite his sock and that penalty

There are the things that New Zealand need to get out of their game they don’t want to invite Australia down into attacking positions too easily so Luke Lewis is with the ball and he’ll play the ball 37 M away from the New Zealand line last Rugby League

Match of the season started on this day nine months ago with the indigenous All Star Clash at skill Park and 10 of these players were there as it goes through Kon and he finds Lewis working on The Blind Side keeps the legs tucked up underneath him as he’s tackled on the

Eastern touch line played back to takiri gone away to Kon he drifts across the ground a couple of forwards Rand to loia throws a pass bounces away for Brent tiate and tiate looking to one l oh he wingar to put his foot on the sideline ruled not to have happened and Morris

Will play the ball 22 M out now they’re running towards the Milton Street end of the of the ground here at sunc Australia gallon taken half Lula driving in but McKenry was the one that put the meat into it now it’s loia he puts a little kick oh he’s made a

Mistake to pull back ho higher and there’s a try for Australia scored by Brent Tate one of many test tries his 16th in his 23rd test Bren Tater scored off the back of a Locka kick After lanceo High has been clean bowled theyve maintained the pressure of the

Australians they got the penalty they got down at the right end of the field and Darren Loa put through a kick that looked fairly innocuous but it’s on the ground and a rugby league ball can do anything he’s overrun it completely in fact it’s a really poor attempt there

From Lance a high you’d expect better he didn’t give himself much chance of gathering that one [Applause] in R tip as I said this veteran who is Bound for the Cowboys in the NRL next year gets his 23rd test away to a flying start with his 16th

Try and a brilliant start for lock here of course as Peter said it didn’t look didn’t look venomous but it was so welcome back to the nine coverage on the wide worlder Sports on this Saturday night Australia versus New Zealand and they’re away to a flying start the kangaroos Cameron Smith three from

Forward Eden Park from the touch line 22 out the kick is going straight the kick is straight between the big sticks so Cameron converts it’s 6 n Australia early Ray Warren ask a question in the leadup to that try whether or not Australian Winger Brett Morris had his

Foot on the line let’s have a look here as gets the ball from Brent Tate he’s going across field he’s well on the line and the linesman is right there now Brett Norris I think did that in the Grand Final leading up to a dragon’s first try and he’s managed to put his

Duke on the line again tonight and the lead up to the Australian first try linesman’s missed it he couldn’t have been any closer the touch judge the picture shows that and Gall is who’ll play the ball for Australia 27 M out from his own Line This is Willie

Tonga and he’ll play it now tackle there by Marshall and Smith and Shillington hard and met hard by Blair and an awful play the ball but he gets a penalty from it he’s ruled against Blair coming up with the boot was a big run by Shillington but then an equal performance in

Defense well that was really Shillington putting the ball well forward at the Mark there I mean he’d been dominated in the he should have backed up before he played that ball he put it behind Blair’s feet not much going for New Zealand early second ball getting on to

The ground as it’s play there by Lewis and then from Smith it’s found Shillington again going back and looking for Blair again and Blair it is that wraps him up with h this time from McKenry and Jeremy Smith then cron and they pepper this Blind Side down a

Straight his left side ho makes no mistake and that’s not it’s Nightingale who’s got the ball well they needed that New Zealand as AIO makes them ground up the middle off to a fly of the Australians but they’ve been given some help there important for New Zealand to stay in contact early and

This will help they get their first penalty of the night in past games when Australia dominated possession the scoreboard is ticked over New Zealand have to make sure that it doesn’t tick any more than six that’s a terrible blunder rabbits isn’t it that first try I mean the lions

Were standing right over the top then when he catches the ball you saw he was out how do they miss that lul taking the free kick and Bronson Harrison who performs brilliantly at any level playing the ball on the 30 m line Lula to the middle

Of the ground for Nathan feed and he goes to matalino and he’ll play the ball 22 M out can they level here’s their first chance at it he’s mannering playing centers tonight night in 12 you player 10 m out from the line up at the kton street end of the ground to

Nathan fi again the little General in seven oh Marshall’s pass looked marginal and Harrison is put away with had Thor so two to go they come away from Lula Wier Jeremy Smith who backs into them and stands in the tackle now he calls Hill but that time Slater had upended

Him this is the last here it is with feed he goes across he’s looking for Sam perro and perro leaves the ground and it’s going out for a restart for Australia on the 10 m line and again just those little things that’s a poor

Kick it had to be on the tri line maybe giving them a chance at scoring or getting a restart but it’s a simple Handover nice defense there from Matt Scott He Saw Jeremy Smith coming one of Smith’s plays close to the line move in and crunch it was a poor kick selection

Peter wasn’t it I mean if that was you on Fifth tackle you’d have roll that into the end goal and on the ground tried to get it back well you’ve got to give yourself two chances firstly to score the try and secondly if you don’t score the try for the restart under the

Posts it just it was a poor percentage play as the Australians now through kuer he’s looking for 4020 this is close this is great what a kick from frro inch per and they’ll get the scrum for that’s a confidence booster if ever you’ve seen one you’ve just seen New

Zealand put a bad ending to their set ending of course with Sam perit straddling the sideline here’s the kick again just to explain to maybe some non-rugby League people or overseas viewers in the game of rugby league if you kick the football from inside your own 40 and find the touch line inside

The opposition 20 M you get the ball back it’s a big play and Cooper Crum he’s done it so often for the Melbourne storm he’s done it beautifully tonight in the green and gold you’re talking about people maybe don’t know the rules all that well that would certainly be the case we’re going

All over the place tonight and here is Cooper Kon man responsible tackle 10 me out from the line matalino making the tackle with ho and here’s Smith a dummy before he hits the lock forward gallon G will play it to the line they’re leading 6 n gallon might have

Put one on L chin his thigh for Tate looking for another play the ball centimeters away from the line they go very wide and deep to loia he does the same thing cro puts a kick in end on in Nightingale is there he’ll be hammered by the

Australians line drop out so they gave themselves a chance of scoring a try or getting the ball back as Peter was just explaining at the other end of the park he did well there Cooper because it was a disjointed play there from the Australians a lot of players had gone

Through early thinking loia was going to kick look they’re all in front comes back to Cooper CR he can’t pass it to anyone everyone backs up gets themselves back on side and he makes a great play out of what started off as a poor sequence and that’s the difference in

Quality between the two teams both last week and in the early stages this week it’s a massive drop kick from Marshall went about 55 M on the full he Shillington with a big run and again they me him and Hammer him he did well together that one in David Shillington Darren Loa couldn’t

Get it on the fall and now he’s Front Row part a good strong charge here from Matt Scott he was still able to run 20 M though Shillington which the case the chase might have been all that his lock here joining in the right side Slater’s

With it Slater can see the line gets it away but oh it’s all gone upside down well I tell you what was upside down the New Zealand defense here we got a player down in injured it’s Billy Slater who surged into that hole beautifully constructed play right from the play the ball watch

The way they suck the New Zealand defenders in Cameron Smith Goes to the line beautiful ball out the back looks like th’s going to get it maning has been caught out 3on one sler decides to make the Surge and then can’t get the pass on the outside to Morris to score

But wonderfully constructed play by the two Playmakers Cameron Smith look at Slater get absolutely shirt fronted by Lance high and I wonder he’s down that knocked the wind out of him but he’s up Billy the Kid beautiful play wonderful Play Lock here and Cameron Smith G is you got a

Big head start with those two boys in your team do you like that rabbits Jeremy scrum then 10 m out from the line and the new zealanders winning it mannering taking it out some 15 M from the line Ford goes away on the right side for Harrison and he’s hammered there by Scott and played there inside the 20 M line for Jeremy Smith to shoulder arms and he goes ahead but he’s met Again by the likes of Shillington and Scott and Cameron Smith the entire front row and here’s Marshall with a little pass back to matalino back

On his 20 30 m line they are now so they’ve used four tackles the Black and Whites and this is Blair tackled on their own 40 m line Adam Blair five mil burans in the team tonight Slater Fielding it toiri goes back Slater stays with him but then the

New zealanders and Kenny D in particular with ning they make the tackle he’s gone into touch well to KI with back that way inviting the problem yeah good stuff there from the New Zealand defense they kept momentum in the tackle going sideways they got numbers

There I guess the one thing in in L T’s defense here was that his at one stage his feet were picked up off the ground and that would normally be called a tackle the referee allowed it to continue TR together Tony arer in his eighth International balling refereeing second four Nation final oh

High in from the back and he almost beat Slater Slater looked as though he really wanted a part of him then he went back for seconds too yeah I think you’re right pet had the entree went back for Mains I think he would have hung around

For dessert had he had the time now Jeremy and he’s taken by Scott Matthew eating up this opportunity 10 m out can they score the key weeds Lula gone through the fiend onto Marshall now to mannering but Brent Tates former Warrior’s teammates equal to the task and then it’s gone away with

Lanto high drifting across crabbing across Blair taken down hard running sideways that’s the treatment you get t again was strong now it’s fi rolls it in to KI bats it line drop out that’s better it’s a far better end of the set of six mind you leading up to that point I

Think Australia’s defense looks very comfortable every time New Zealand moves the ball runs through their repertoire of plays it just looks like Australia knows exactly what they’re going to do and they’ve covered them comfortably at least Nathan F was smart on let on last play he gets a restart yeah TR become a

Standard kick you’re hitting the ball so that it actually bounces away from the dead ball line and curves back in towards the Chasers and camon Smith’s got a nice piece of that land on the halfway line with some height Sam mckendry HS up 15 mate start to the game Scot up high with

A shoulder charge legitimate Shillington was underneath Blair goes ahead so 25 out down the middle Corridor of the ground away no look fi goes on Malino can’t handle it picked up by loia Advantage has been applied back for sler now and he comes out on his tackle just

Inside the the 20 M line in fact it’s K can not Slater play back for Smith gone to gallon and Paul put down inside the 30 m line taken by louai and Nathan fi Brent Tate getting the first and try of the game at the third minute for

Australia Tom Leroy L out there now as Willie T scoots out of Dy half Matt Scott off after 15 minutes he gave Tim Sheen a quality 15 there’s no doubt about that 11 12 queenslanders in the S and of course that is a recognition of their domination at origin

Level so it’s gone away from Marshall to oh mening lost it archers found it high it’s Leroy L only just crossed the sideline well he stopped as a shot there maning watch’s this here bounces up off the ball he actually knocked the ball out and then

The arm went up around the neck it wasn’t around the neck that forced the ball out good tackle there by Leroy L I’m not even sure it was that high but it certainly looked awkward enough you can’t blame him for for giving the penalty I think a little bit of member

Going on there from Tom Leroy L where’s your Mo rabbits I tried but I failed here’s melino he saw a little Gap there he tried to squeeze between th day and Tate it’s gone now to the right side for Smith to use Eastwood FG will play the

Ball 20 away New Zealand getting some opportunities now and here’s Marshall linking in running a blind side play M picked up and a penalty for putting him in a dangerous position again from Brent Tate I think that’s an accident I I think the way mannering went and the way

Tate attacked him it’s a total accident he ends up over the top I think it’s just a good tackle and momentum forc their bodies in that direction no will fing interestingly tonight New Zealand don’t go for the penalty goal they’re down by six they look for the try Malino 6 n down New

Zealand good opportunity Unity here for them as Eastwood finds Blair and he goes short to Smith and Smith hunching over looking to get rid of it Blair stayed with him and Smith in fact held by the other Smith for probably too long here’s Marshall diving around close to the

Line Benji will play it third tackle for the Kiwi L away has a dig saw the line he was arching over it put down eventually by Kon now they go back for fi and fi puts this kick across and per got a leaping J on this but it’s

Gone into touching goal so a 20 me sing off from New Zealand here the challenge again there’s a coach Steven KY I thought there was a real good opportunity where Blair passed short to Jeremy Smith had he thrown the ball out the back I’m pretty sure New

Zealand would have had a big overlap let’s have a look at it little change passing here bang now look if he passes the ball out the back they’d have had four on two on the outside that’s a play they should persevere with sha in a change passing with the forwards then

Shot it out the back to Lance oh high and Benji Marshall they just might outnumber them on that side C’s got a tip to his players there they had them ciri playing the ball third time these two Nations have met this year Australia winning in Melbourne the trans Tasman

128 then Park 34 to 20 bird is on there and here’s gallon out the bat it was a Benji type of pass as he was tackled by Benji and that’s an awkward way to go down there for Willie tonger he’s okay although he’s now gone back to ground

Here’s gallon and gallon is held by Jeremy Smith and Bronson Harrison involved underneath there was Kenny uh Kenny Dal rugby league Player of the Year in New Zealand center of the year at the international level the kick is high parro went up put that leading leg

Out as a protector and the ball is being played and oh high runs at TH day and Leroy lies so the ball to be played on the 20 M line Archer standing back on the 10 L defense line just the one referee of course the match being played under International rules

And here is Nightingale from the premier St George aaar play back to now again from the dragons and Nathan fi drives it down the ground it’ll roll into the end goal for Morris he’ll let it go he didn’t rush in did he that’s unfortunate for New Zealand four tackle

It was a better kick there it found open space and the chase was good didn’t bounce well for them but not a bad tactic as we go sideline to Wally Lewis could be a concern in the Australian Camp Brent Tate on the right hand side of the field he’s got some

Real problems with his c a knock and and uh the last tackle he was involved in he’s having real trouble being able to show any strength on it at the moment he just out plenty of punishment particularly to Simon maning I was going to make the point his

Defense has been very very strong and here’s Slater playing the ball on the halfway line he has to lift Blair as he gets up to play the ball his thigh day Slater quite aggravated by that tackle Manu was gone on mentally comes off Cameron Smith gives it to Darren Darren

Goes to Luke Lewis who look back on the inside but he was shut down on the 30 m line lovely footwork there from Luke Lewis problem for Luke oh dear it was beautiful footwork he caught and stepped into the one motion and and really cut inside a New Zealand Defender

There to get himself into the back field but je was this doesn’t look good players are calling the sideline straight away he’s in some distress isn’t he he just moved over to the right hand side side of the field to he started on the left for the the kangaroos tonight with the introduction

Of Greg bird L came over to this side of the field allowing Greg to operate to the left but an ankle problem here what’s the way catches and steps into one motion that’s lovely and it looks like his right ankle is gone in underneath here oh I don’t

Want to watch this ouch ouch I hate looking at these things on replay yeah he he knows and the play that’s television isn’t it yeah what we’ll do we’ll take a break and pop back to you in just a moment okay thank you thank you he’s coming out of there Luke

Lewis it’s the second time in the four nations that this has been the the case there’s David ferer by the way the assistant coach to Tim [Applause] Sheen there’s Luke Lewis uh being assisted from the ground memory says me correctly he had to leave the field against Papio new guine on the

Opening weekend and this injury looks much more serious and he’s being chaired from the ground now Luke Lewis from penri it’s a terrible way to end what’s been an outstanding season for him he thally deserves his plac as a starting second row in this Australian side this

Will be last play when we resume it’s tackled five against the Australians th a will play the ball last tackle Nate miles has gone on from the roosters and just outside the 30 m line and SL lock here goes very very high n gal underneath it oh it’s G all over the

Place might have come off Tonga and it’s gone back to New Zealand B in the field of play oh high cleaning it up now come away with Marshall meter out from the line and now Kenny Dow grimaces as he takes the ball ahead like a forward that’s a good Tough Run

Now Eastwood backs him up with another strong effort it’s even better is it they’re two Really Brave runs from those boys here they go the kiwis with Lula fancying that he can find something down the middle miles was the man that nailed him yeah he’s lost to Thomas L to

Play the ball and that all and did all the good work he possibly should have given the ball to newala it would wound up after the Eastwood charge as well that was bad luck because the work from Kenny Dale and Eastwood was tremendous last one here on last play

They looking to get a kick and he tore play of the ball all the little things add up to be beak 32 M out from Their Own Line the kiwis go into defense mode and loia goes on to Slayer and here’s Tate now Wally was telling us he is carrying a

Problem this point of the match they’re 30 m away and again they’re seemingly aggravated by things that are happening in the tackles and fray will play the ball 25 out Middle Ground Lula was the chief tackler cabon Smith a show and then goes behind then goes to k then to Slater

Outside I thought there was going to be an outside inside Ball but Tong has lost it it went backwards and it’s come down with teiri but he’s Ed it’s gone forward archers called it up he’s going to pack a scrum he will give the kiwis loose head and

Feed Cooper Kon just waving for the players to come things down thinks are a little bit frantic at the moment you know for for all the action we’ve seen in Australia I think have dominated it’s only 60 and there was a fair bit of good fortune about the Australian triy

With a bounce that eluded the fullback Lance a higher and Brent Tate was able to score so whilst you feel as Australia on top the scoreboard says New Zealand is still in it here they are bringing the ball out now and the Wide World of Sports you’re watching Australia versus New Zealand in

The final of the rugby league four nations tomorrow you’ll see the final day of the JB we Masters live from the Victoria Golf Club in M brilliant telecasting over the last three days that’ll culminate tomorrow tough stuff there from Paul Gallen coming in blindsiding Frank PA

Newal and there back it up again on Simon maning L LS low got some help from Nate miles a bit higher up he’s got a little Cut Above his right eye miles that happened with a head Clash when he tackled Lula who then went on to play

The ball badly and that ball was found the line just outside the 40 and again I don’t want to keep harping on about the little things but and that was a great kick but it could have been a kick that actually got them possession if he’ had just

Positioned himself this is the big defense from Australia started off with gallon then Leroy L and Nate miles and then the kick he just got himself better positioned like he’s he’s half a meter out he had plenty of the play the ball was on the 40 Peter you know they’ve got

To position themselves so that they do get themselves behind the 40 for that kick assistant coach next to Steven cerney is a former wonderful player Tony AO sideline Wally Lewis well we become used to seeing Benji Marshall kick for his side at the Tigers and also New

Zealand in the past I’m I’m a little bit confused as to why he’s not involved in the clearance kicks tonight he seems to control the ball a hell of a lot better and Nathan fi he’s not all that used to doing it at Club level so perhaps we’re

Seeing a little bit of a Changing of the Guard with who’s in control Leroy LS now just outside the 30 m line miles ran a decoy crun went over to gallon gallon to the halfway strong run by this lock forward plays more like a front rower

Than a lock but he’s as tough as nails that was a good run I think team s has done a terrific job with PA gallon I might talk about it later but you’re 100% right he’s playing in like a front cron Nails it down into the Ino San P

Brings it back 10 me out from his line the play it for Nathan and FEI gets it away for ho who steps Tate taken by lock loses the ball Australia get advantage through Tate was in tackled so Ohio was entitled to jump on him Leroy l oh that’s a

Tackle and then he’s come up with the ball Smith but he’s R not onone Jeremy Smith came in almost in a a tripping yeah I’m not sure about the the the tackle Pi look like one of those old cumb and throws to me well they’re legal as long as you’ve

Got hold of the player as you come in it’s a thin line did his leg make contact before he actually grabbed the top of Leroy L it’s dangerous anyway all Ray Price used to come up with a few of those he was an expert at

It you throw the hip in and pull you over the top be careful c m if I you he’s still playing isn’t he I think he is somewhere he is and he’s still belting BLS too that tried to tell him to calm it down but it’s it’s not in the makeup

Not in the nature it’s Kenny D now Marshall and here is neala he’s got both socks down I’m still laughing at Jeremy Smith that’s a black bandage that he’s got or taping on that leg of his not a sock Isaac Luke is out there now he’s got the

Ball at dummy half finds a higher and Luke came into the game last week the stalians had shot away the C are well in the contest and he’s a he’s a great attribute attribute as Benji Marshall gets a fairly Dusty typ kick up R to jugles and takes no he must have

Knocked it into the New Zealand player wow he’s r a knock on against the Australian I’m not even sure it’s a ball he needed to play it it it was a high kick from Benji Marshall but there was no danger to it the only way New Zealand

Were going to get a result was if teir knocked it on it’s a bit of a tough call I think he ruled that the ball touched Jason ning gal but I’m not so sure anyway it gives New Zealand a great opportunity up and until now they haven’t looked like scoring a try

Australia’s defense has been brilliant other than that one little play I highlighted before where Adam Blair should have passed the ball out the back let’s see if they can reproduce that scenario again so it’s 6 n in favor of Australia and here is Marshall and Marshall got a ball away

From mandering who was almost in a hole and Tate it was that closed it yet again eight from the line it’s gone from Kenny oh you Salah drops the ball Zer Jeremy well they’re building their own problem I got no it’s go away I just about to make a

Comment 6 n down it’s not a bad effort 30 minutes gone and really if you watch our replays there should never have been a try scored was more than leg because a touch didn’t see a foot on the line for br moris yeah they feel as though they’re

In the contest here in New Zealand but but that’s sloppy there’s still a lot of elements that their game they can improve they they’re not out of this yet by any stretch he nearly opened them up the play before Benji Mar with a really good bit of deception he went at the

Inside Man and then went at the outside man who got interested enough defensively that just about open up the Simon man not an easy play but Marshall nearly pulled it off as th day gets pushed back what’s the story with with Luke Lewis Andrew Johnson yeah it’s a cnis Moses injury to

The lower leg there’s no break at this stage so he won’t be back Luke Lewis miles playing the ball near the halfway line to mention that Andrew is on that sideline with Wally tonight my apologies Joseph we used to call it a sprain or what was it again a sosis or something

Or other yeah it’s it’s liament that sit between both bones we just finish him a degree guess yeah we just called it a sprain ankle in the here take tackled on the 30 m line thigh days limping yeah not for the first time tonight so it’s gone from Cameron Smith

And now it’s with Tom Leroy L hunches over finds Cameron Smith tackled by Eastwood and Smith and then another drives in underneath and again all the Australians to the left were expecting Cameron Smith to kick comes one later from Cooper cop it’s a touch deep and

Out it’s land beautifully and P it is that takes it and comes down in the field of play there a fairly good effort by perrot CED a bit of bagging for his performance last weekend and I felt so sorry for him because he’s he’s a quality Wing yeah well he’s playing out

Of possession he’s played all year on the right and it’s not easy to change sides of the field in this day and age and particularly when you’re playing against the best in the world so he looks far more comfortable tonight Gus that’s about the third time tonight

We’ve seen Chasers go through and the kick hasn’t come is that the the kicker missing the assignment or or the outside men seeing something the kick is not seeing well there’s something in the cuse because as you say that that’s the third time that either locky or camon Smith well they

Haven’t even looked to kick yet the Chasers have headed off after the ball back on the 20 M line Slater using Morris playing his 33rd Game of the Year in this match second highest Benji marel has played the most football this year he’s playing his 34th not a bad effort for a

Youngster who we might have thought was injury-prone or just unlucky Gall puts it down talking of luck so it might be that the pendulum is starting to swing a little bit the other way now yeah big eight minutes coming up I mean New Zealand have done remarkably well to

Keep themselves in the confest for M they can either capitalize on that or they can blow it all away by conceding more points this is another great opportunity for them to dominate the last little period of play they should be thinking about just setting up camp down

Australia’s end of the field now if they don’t score keep putting it into the end goal to get the restart keep Australia Under Pressure your best defense is to have the ball at the other end of the field desite some Olympic from s Frid it

Is Tom Leroy L who just left the field with David Shillington back out to his second s step from Kenny does not be his man in nighing Gale acting half and he doesn’t Andrew Johns passes the ball to himself and fooled nobody there was nobody within

A country mile of him when he did but that’s that’s uh Jason he obviously thought about that while he was having his musly this morning he thought I’ll try one of them little dummies that’s it FEI behind one finding Marshall and here is Manu with a strong burst 18 me out

Marshall every time he gets involved it’s good here he is with the ball on the hery Gertie and he’s put down 3 m out five tackles fi oh high up he goes across to Kiri Under Pressure up they go down they come came off New Zealand for mine and for

Tonia ningo came off him nice set of six there from New Zealand little change of angles they prized open the Australian defense threatened to get into the back field Australia scrambled well that’s the key get some attacking possession and get Australia tied get them stretching in defense tast going through Prime and

Sky Sports over in New Zealand and over in the United Kingdom going through BBC Sport and Sky Sports and Tate has picked up and put down hard stand now he’s put plenty out there but he’s taken some as well now Lo has charged down Greg Eastwood has got the ball Eastwood

Goes to ground looks around for help a terribly unlucky that he didn’t get a decent bounce it was rolling sideways instead of up for him as Bron Harrison takes it in behind the play the [Applause] ball Harrison on the second tackle just in front of the halim break

And here’s the big fell the charg down and almost was able to create something Eastwood played Luke now Marshall dummy dummy and it’s gone to FEI FEI away to maning maning for the line big strong held up forth back a meter out Simon Ming fourth tackle for the enzers it’s

Gone away from fi it hits oh high it’s gone he’s gone inside the 20 and has tackled 15 away so what will they do with this one it’s with Marshall off forward pass to Kenny D they’re not going to call it Kenny D scores to try Kenny D scores for the

Kywi well I might be wrong but I thought Marshall’s pass was forward off the hands 64 the score doesn’t matter what I think 36 gone let’s hope it wasn’t R course it was a great play [Applause] to stand and hold and hold it up and hold it up now it’s forward it’s forward

Even with the fact he was getting hit backwards as he passed I’m sure that it’s left forward but the new zealanders will say well the first try from Australia shouldn’t have been as well that’s right it’s TI for 10 people I can’t believe you people watching I should point out Peter made

The reference earlier some of you people might know the rugby league rules brilliantly but you can’t throw the ball forward you cannot throw the ball forward um Kenny Dal the center of the Year internationally play for the roosters in Sydney he’s got the try sha Kenny down sixth career try and hasn’t he

Blossomed New Zealand’s rugby league player of the year now the captain is 11th captaincy and a ball that went forward but at the same time the points are on the board and Marshall kicking at 8% raises the flags game on it was a beautiful play an oldfashioned play we

Used to use this in the old days inside man runs wide second man comes close watch how the player beers out Bronson Harrison and Kenny runs into the hall now unfortunately the ball goes about a meter forward but the execution other than that was wonderful how it prized

Open see how Willie Tonga went with Bronson Harrison and his Center opponent came from outside in to hit the hole beautifully well you can’t say beautifully executed CU it was a forward pass but it’s a lovely play we used to use that in the old days rabbits they

Still work that’s when you were coaching yeah I was going to say you’ve got to distinguish whether you’re talking about coaching or playing cuz I never saw you involved in that play no it was too fast for me exactly right that’s the point I was trying to make with some politeness this is Manu you might have Tau it but you didn’t execute it here’s Eastwood certainly wouldn’t have run onto [Applause] it so now it’s with Adam Blair well this is this is most interesting six all they’ve been threatening to come back now they kick from their own 40 big big

Kick from Benji it’ll go dead I I’ve got to say I was about to make a comment maybe 10 back Benji’s got to get more involved it’s more about Nathan F and Benji Marshall now he’s starting to get involved and they’re pressing the button yep well they’ve kept themselves in I

Said in the preview the key to Australia is that they blow sides away early in these big games by hook or by crook you’ve just got to keep yourself in touch on the scoreboard then the middle part of the game isn’t so bad and New Zealand have done that they’ve kept

Themselves in it now find themselves level and if they can just last out this this last minute it’s a it’s a great first 40 minutes for them loia setting it up on the Blind Side he gets the ball and Crosses Halfway by day can’t get the glue on it it will be a

Scrum New Zealand will have the loose head and feet a couple of meters their side of halfway but it might not even yes they’ve decided to pack a scrum the key where they say we’ve got 30 seconds let’s use it yeah and Benji Marshall with a couple of longrange field goals

This year was yelling at them to pack the scrum he’ll be thinking to hit a couple up and maybe just get his right foot to the ball and try and take a 76 lead into the half time break now that would get his his side’s heart really pumping they’ve done well New Zealand

The they’ve still got the same mistakes in their game that they had last week but there is obviously a fiercer attitude in defense here they go and mannering has taken in the middle of the ground Marshall he kick field goals from the halfway 20 seconds to go bit of niggle

In the tackle Greg bird is out there involved Isaac gets it 38 away here he goes and Benji’s ready to the right he gets the the ball he hits it but it’s a charge down came off and went to Fe Fe to Ohio he puts a kick off the Leading

Edge of the boot taken by Slater Slater is trapped in amongst the New Zealand Defenders and so there it is the first half of a most interesting still the jle goes on still the jle goes on Blair has thrown one Shillington replies with the LIF then they come in from all over the

Place I can see Manu throwing punches and so what an ending an eruption you might say the volcano gone off yeah you can’t turn away for a moment can you we we heard the siren and the whistle and we thought well that’s it I don’t think

The referee is going to allow them all to move the field just yet he’s screaming at Players to come back it’s not over yet the two captains are back all the other players are heading to the dressing room turn the Archer I don’t want David Shing

Mate he had to he had to do this it’s all right man I I I’ve been telling you right through the call there been a lot of niggle in the tackles little petty stuff allowed to go it’s boiled over there’s nothing in it right there nothing in the first half just listen to

Me you don’t want to take that in right you got 10 minutes to settle them down keep them calm right they come out with that attitude again I’ll start sitting bikes down right so that’s it we’re going in here you C your bikes Cal okay same for you Benji let’s go

Boys not the first time I’ve seen a little bit of a brawl in an Australia New Zealand test match at this very place when it was called Lang Park but they go back to the neutral Corner they will take a break when we come back sterlo and the boys will take us through

Their thoughts and the highlights from the first half well I asked the question I think it was during the papia New Guinea game and and has there been an unluckier footballer and Brent tat is out of this game he might be out of the game completely as Marshall restart and

This is Scott bringing it back and he’ll play the ball on the 20 M line had a brilliant start to the game the new front row forward 15 minutes of quality stop here’s Nate miles with a good offload but Greg bir looking for Wily Tonga Peter and

Obviously that injury to Brent tight a huge impact on the next 40 minutes with Luke Lewis out of the game as well you would believe it’s very rare that you see a player on crutches consuling another player that is what we saw at the break as the Australians get the

First penalty second half and Kurt gley of course has gone into the centers there’s Lewis they amazing pictures weren’t there with the destroy Brent Tate you know a look behind the scenes that fans don’t see that side of the players very often in the game have lived with that

Over the years you see all sorts of great highs in the game but there are the disappointments as well Kurt gidley looks as though he’s moved to the centers now I would imagine he was going to come into the game at dummy half at some stage that plan goes out the window

Cameron Smith will have to go the distance so David gillington playing the ball inside the 30 m line Australia and New Zealand at six all two dubious Tri given by the officials but at least the scales of Justice have taken us to that situation Sall and Shillington sideways taken down by

Eastward at the end of it all user in it his lock here turning it in bird really putting himself into this passage of play he’s a dummy from the dummy half and then he backs over the top of Isaac Luke Cameron Smith that is and eventually he gets rid of Isaac

Luke with a bit of a shove bird puts in a kick bird puts in another kick and it’s forced by New Zealand I said bird was putting himself into this passage of play he has dominated since the the halim break he’s had a heap of handles

And in this case he has a heap of kicks and eventually he gets a line Dropout coming back to him there was a flip over there with Cameron Smith could have been nasty but he did really well there GRE bird it was a player laying in the play

The ball they were all over him it was fifth tackle lot of pressure showed his experience and just calmly kicked the ball into the in goal and then hustled in to make the tackle that that injury to Brent Tate it looks to me like it’s been a fairly emotional time at halim

For the Australians they’ve come out fired up Shillington playing the ball on the kiwi’s 30 m line towards the western side and here’s bird again quick he’ll play the ball only 17 M out from the line Cameron Smith turns it back for Scott Scott’s able to get away from Luke

And he’s looking to unload he has unloaded the ball is on the ground knock on scrum New Zealand’s Fe now this is interesting he said knock on he said Scott was trying to pass the ball short James he did have his back to the opponent’s goal line looking to force it

Out let’s have a look here he tries to pass it out the back yeah that’s a knock on he’s dropped it to the ground Coach and he’s Apprentice there not happy plenty of heat in the game we went to the halftime break now they lock into the scrum and

It’s really locked in there by the Kiwi forwards hoping they might have even got a penalty out of that for one of the other fors from Australia breaking early Manu he’s lost the ball but it’s a penalty drilled a [Applause] rake two in the tackle and the ball

Stolen so that brings them out of a dangerous situation quite comfortably he didn’t have much control on that ball did he the New Zealander might have been a bit lucky to get the penalty so Isaac Luke on the halfway line Nathan fi turning it back on the inside for

Manu seeka to play the ball start of a new set for New Zealand and they go into enemy territory through new asy strong East would puts it down Tonga comes up with Australia here Bo so unnecessary they got good field position was a good run from newala he was going to pass

That at all costs but you just got to take the tackle and take advantage of what you’ve done with the charge Greg eord probably should have caught it but I just don’t think it’s it’s needed in lovely field position to use a few tackles to put Marshall into that danger zone

40 m out from Their Own Line Australia and Slater rounded up by neala and I’m with you right I think that is exactly the New Zealand forwards job is to just concentrate on getting Benji Marshall into an attacking position and Isaac just get him down there and let them do the

Job so here’s David Shillington getting the ball back for Nate miles and 33 M out from the New Zealand line Smith the pass finding front FR getting the ball away bird involved Slater lost the ball went back taken by Smith gets it back for teiri Australia really playing rasle Dazzle football on

This occasion and takiri will play the ball 17 away from the line it’s gone to the middle of the ground to the right foot of Cooper Crum and a bit of pressure over there for per oh Magic take Morris was flying through the air that’s a wonderful take absolutely

Wonderful reaches up with his hands outstretched look at that for a gra brilliant hey good on your s he had a tough week last week mentioned that Brett mors did give him some sort of bath and tonight he’s he’s answered the call he’s bounced back like good players

Do as Kenny Dal picks up good M quick play the ball Isaac Luke skips out Beach lock here still Gall just inside the 40 m line South Sydney hooker plays the ball Marshall now tries to open up a gap and he does he’s gone through Marshall he

Puts a kick in racing back with gidley the ball on the ground has gone into touch off whom well you can’t take your eyes off him for one moment and and australa got to be careful the really great players if you rush them sometimes you make them run

And on Fifth tackle they make Benjy Marshall run didn’t come up the other side of the play of the ball and he Sprints into the back field put a perfectly placed kick in and Kurt gidley gets back and the ball rolls in touch with no one touching it so Marshall was

The last one but he wanted to kick on tackle five they made him run he nearly made them T he’s the best player in the game in my book and as Peter was just saying or concurring take him down into the the danger zone he’ll win the game for you

You got to take him down there to give him every chance and I told you earlier he’s playing his 34th game this is the player that’s played most football this year Benji Marshall is Australian now just outside the 20m line with Nate miles just outside 30 playing it in the buber

Sign now it goes to Scott and Matty Scott played the ball almost on halfway he’s been terrific hasn’t he and Cameron Smith is able to Slither under a tackle eventually it’s Manu who closes him down here Kon he had to hurry the kick but it’s still high lot of Hang Time 19

G right up above them the dragons Winger now ho high it’s inspirational from the two Wingers their last two tackle five diffusions Sam per Nightingale of green brilliant and that just inspires the rest of the team here he goes here he is ning carrot just a couple of minutes ago

Nightingale now and then since that you’ve seen Marshall again injecting himself and every time he does the red lights go on now it is with neala and he’ll play the ball near halfway wrestled over onto his back by Smith and Miles played by Frank now it’s

Gone on to Nathan fi boot drives it down it’s back spinning slate up close to the sideline coming to the center Brett Morris is there but he’s tided up by Luke mannering an assist in the tackle now for gidley and not held on the 20 pinches another meter and the 15

Matalino about to come back in he L teiri well that switched up from both gidley and teiri because the austr Australians were on the back foot after that kick as well slow play the ball F day he gets going as quickly as he can just short of his own 40 Sam playing it

Cameron Darren puts a kick in it’s gone down for nightingale he’s not going to take any chances takes it early Sprints 15 Sprints 20 good effort from the Winger wasn’t prepared to take take any chances with that ball finding the dead ball line and here’s Ohio bouncing away

From gidley mannering comes away from the Eastern touch line he’ll play it inside 40 played back for ho to use parrot now and parrot looks at the halfway line before being tackled he plays it sloly oh themi now it’s Kenny bouncing away from a couple of the

Forwards and eventually he’s put down 9 M on Australia side of halfway the final of the four nations and Isaac Luke throws a dummy almost gets through Kenny DS there but Lakes 25 out from the line the Kiwi is looking strong it’s gone to feied It’s

Gone on to balino they might have a number or two on that side but the pass is bad Pirro put a kick in it and Slater Slater lets it go well excitement well I found the wrong man in Ben matalino excuse the pun but this is a

Huge test for the Australians tonight 17 versus 15 the kiwis are growing in confidence and Isaac Luke making space up the middle this was the last tackle and Melina threw it behind Simon maning did a good job Sam per to possibly keep it alive as the Australians do with Shillington looked

Like a kickboxer out there Sam P the kick he put on it just when dead doing Billy Slater a favor and while Peter was talking you would have seen Isaac Luke put shoulder on Matt Scott another example of these little fellows that they play miles above their weight

Sometimes crando comes to mind don’t mind dishing it out out comes from loia sloppy back for Smith he’s made to pay the penalty by m Henry right in the middle of the ground and here is Shillington David play the ball off comes Matt Scott ball goes back for the

Kick cro dummies dummies kicks chips and it’s for himself it’s for himself he puts another kick on it oh oh higher he might have made a mistake early but that was good work it could have been disastrous couldn’t it keeper Croc asked the question Lance High had to come up

With a grab and just managed to stick Nathan Fe now benino and he’s tackled 35 M away from his own line we’re lock up at six all a scoreboard that reflects a heavy ground but no we’re playing on top of the ground and it’s fast and furious as it

Comes away from Ohio to Marshall Marshall on Bron Harrison gives the ball Kenny almost slipping through ball goes back AR will say play on and it’ll be n in Gale playing it for Marshall and he goes on to the boot on the last for ho high and a kick and

Underneath a gidley he said play on and a good tackle by Simon manry only five into the field of play Morris is tackled 12 away from his own line taken down by fi Dragon on Dragon th day on the 20 M line he play the ball back for Cameron

Smith and now he finds Nate miles up end him and put him away McKenry puts his weight into it with Isaac Luke the main tackler Smith behind the Decoy for Leroy BL well everything think I’ve ever seen in my life in football suggests that this game something’s got to give they

Can’t keep running and tackling like this and the score say at 60 there is going to be a break very shortly because both sides are really starting to hurt so the back three try to combine the keyway nighting girl plays at her higher dummy half and here’s a run from P well

There’s no doubt New Zealand more dangerous at the moment but one of the great qualities of Australia over many years is to conjure up something when they’re on their Hills and they are to some degree at the moment a flash of Brilliance support play just something and who’s the chief conjur none other

Than Darren loia how many times has he put one over the line to win a big match Isaac Luke’s come to the side line for New Zealand I think that’s a mistake here’s a big bonus for them with a penalty late in the tackle count I thought Isaac Luke was looking very very

Dangerous he didn’t look tired to me when was so many tired players out there this last 15 minutes has been so frantic Isaac Luke is a type of player you want out there I can’t believe he’s off he’s he’s looked so ominous he’s he’s played 80 minutes just

About every week for South cityne this year and and you could see what a a great year he had they’re on the verge of something here the C is I think that they’ve just put put a pin in the Ballo impossible so Lula is back out there as

A second ball finds the field and matalino takes it up 22 M out from the line he lost that ball oh dear well how many times have they gifted the ball back to Australia in this situation yeah and they got to be really careful here look how the

Australians are pupping each other up now that’s their that’s their origin experience kicking in they know that they can they can turn this mistake into something special New Zealand on the other hand have got to dig in and say okay disappointment set back we just got

To get our minds on our defense here and make sure it doesn’t hurt us look for Australia to try and take advantage here something’s going to give rabbits Can you feel it can you feel it baby I can feel that I’ll tell you something else

I’m enjoying it too and oh a high tackle from Jeremy Smith rather than McKenry I think and and this compounds the problem matuno drops it in the flow of the ball and then on first tackle they give the penalty so australa have had a let off

And now a bonus in the space of 30 seconds and it is so like them to turn this into important points that was just a lazy grab Australia just sucking in the energy here they’ll be thinking to themselves Now’s the Time yeah this game now it’s as much mental as it is

Physical I know that they’re ripping into each each other but the next points in this game are unbelievably [Applause] crucial tension mounting as Australia get a chance and Leroy L he rang into a brick wall defense with matalino and mckendry he’ll play it on the 40 m line

Then Cameron Smith for cooperon he dummies dummies again goes out the back by Slater Slater they put him down 20 away from the line here they come rabbits the kangaroos at six all with the kiwi and here’s gallon back into the goal but got the ball the Slayer step

Step sler scored try 16 at test level you can feel it you can feel it coming parry and thrust built and get builded suddenly Australia turn the screws when the advantage Falls their way you can feel it coming and I spoke about the mental you could see the The

Joy from the Australians at the mistake at the other end of the field and their reaction to this try they know what a big play this is in the overall contest good Line running there from Greg bird and Billy slatty another Mark man on his outside but he stepped scored himself

He’s a wonderful player Billy Slater just a wonderful player a thrilling player as I said in a commentary the other day he’s the most exciting number one I’ve seen as well as being the busiest so will it be 126 can they come back [Applause] telecast going right around the globe through many

Networks particular warm welcome to our audiences in New Zealand and in England and in Papio New Guinea I know the match is also going through Fiji may be disappointed that Pro is not in the game but that was a Mark or a stamp of the man what he did Cameron

Smith 25 out five in from the Western line to the cman street and in go yes he’s got it yes he’s got it it is 126 Wy Lewis magnificent kick from Cameron Smith 60 Minutes of play there six in front just have a look at the replay very well constructed Try by the

Australians terrific angling back inside from Greg bird and Billy Slater well if you can back him off that left W step that’s going to make the Australians feel a bit better and Brent Tate as well there’s the conversion we Andrew Johns and I had the opportunity to just drop

In and have a look at taty well he’s all in tears at the moment he believes that could well be the end of his career go and that’s it a terrible thing I mean it’s a terrible thing for anybody to stare retirement Force retirement in the face

But when you’ve had as many injuries and comeback as he has he doesn’t deserve any any more bad luck look we wish him the best he won’t rush into a decision of course and let’s hope the cold light of day that it may not be as serious as

What at first appears and that will lift him I’m sure that he’s watching this last 20 minutes and the Australians now looking to continue on Cooper drives it down Sam parrot springing the step of the green and go at the moment lanceo high up oh picked up and

Bundled down he’s pretty hard to get down to actually but Greg bird nailed him and here is Sam perrot another little small back three just bunching up now New Zealand under the pressure If now six behind it doesn’t feel as comfortable for them it is bunched in

Behind the play of the ball big hit there by Greg bird backing up the fact that his team’s now in front Australia look to turn the screws this is Kenny down losing the ball losing the ball and they Contin demount pressure on themselves I love watching players you

Could you can watch a game and not know the score line and from the body language of the players know who is on top at any particular moment Phil spoke about them bunching the body language wasn’t good when they bunched as well Australia on the back of points they’ve

Now got the smell in the nostrils psychologically they’re well on top and New Zealand it’s tough to dig deep under pressure but that’s what they’ve got to do this is the elute level it’s the origin experience I made this point last week you the Australians are so lucky

That they have that great origin competition where they can go to this level and push themselves to such extremes and come out the other side and you know this side is full of queenslanders that have dominated for 5 years New Zealand players don’t get that

You know some of them get to play in Grand finals but that origin experience is so valuable to Australia and so valuable to these players in big games so Australia winning the scrub B and met by the three quarter line made up of forwards for New Zealander so Leroy L playing the ball pass from Dy har to th day right on the line Jeremy Smith hurt himself trying to tackle th day th day and Fina having a dust up in back play now gone away and it’s with Greg bird ball loose layer Dives on it should be

More it is has been negated plays the ball and here it goes with Gallum Gallum pulled down by Nightingale plays the ball nine away Cameron Smith CER Kon Outside Inside and it’s with Greg bird wonderful second half for Greg now it’s gone from Cameron Smith away to

Cooper kro genu flecting as he took the ball now it’s gone from loia it’s just down F day lifting the legs and getting away from one you play the ball eight out lock in dummy half gidley was smashed there by a flying tackle from McKenry but he comes back the Newcastle

Skipper and he’ll play the ball 10 away from the line play back to Bird high ball not good for Tonga short for Loy but it’s in [Applause] T it’s good work by New Zealand they were stretched there but they’ve scrambled well Australia way on top at

The moment New Zealand have got to learn to dig in here and even though their opponents have got all the r running if they don’t consuit any more points they they give Benji Marshall a chance to get them back level on the scoreboard but at the moment they’re just running on empty

Look hands on hips hands on heads people leaning over and look at them the the body language is awful there you got to be up and talking and pushing each other want to give Sam a Big W there showed great restraint about third tackle on

The far side of the field he came to grips with Nathan F and Nathan F landed two on his chin watch this it’ll continue on there’ll be there’s one there there’s another one there now normally Sam can react to that but he knew that his side was in front and he

Knew the worst thing that could happen was to disrupt what was going on so he copped it for his team and ran away from it great camera work well done boys play by man and here’s s p he pulled him down he started to crawl up the

Ground and he plays the ball now Jeremy Smith not happy with Greg bird they wrestle on the ground marles with the ball croners with him now they pile into this melee well this could be the biggest decision in the game well Greg birg Clips Jeremy Smith as he goes past but

Jeremy Smith gets up off the ground and chases him th this will be very very interesting how they interpret this what Greg bird was fairly innocuous for mine Smith’s reaction over the top whoever gets this penalty May well go on to win the game because it’s so

Important which way this goes this is in direct contrast to what we just saw from Sam th day there’s the tackle being made and there’s the two the 13 Jeremy Smith pushed to the ground by Greg bird you again there’s not much in it there’s nothing in it when your team’s got the

Football yeah well I don’t think what Greg bird did to him was all that bad he thought he was going to get the ball and sort of hit him from behind and Jeremy got up and chased after him back well if you had a blue every time somebody got pushed in the back

We’d be broadcasting the fights well you and i’ be fighting all night we’ve been nice to each other tonight we it’s been good last night I know here we go this will be interesting from Tony Archer stay with Tony granted he bushed you first Hey listen to me don’t get up and

React that’s what caused the break push him in the back benj benj get up and do something like that ends up sit down it’s just silly stuff you’re going to get the penalty you’re going to get the penalty goes against your first don’t react right benj was

Talking that right up he knows this is an important penalty well you know tan has gone to the real book and probably gone the play not in position you can’t take him out I mean I know you don’t push him he don’t punch her so it

Doesn’t start yeah I know that but you can’t go around just pushing bikes out there who don’t have the ball it’s a penalty to New Zealand there he is he’s just telling you he’s telling telling you about the rule book Tony Archer yeah Phil Phil’s rule book is totally in

Opposition to that but that’s fine that’s fine we’ll run with ar little for the time being and I’m I’m happy for New Zealand to get the penalty but um you know as Greg bird just said it’s it’s a contact sport it’s actually a collision sport yep understand all that we’re not going

There again not tonight any getting away now he made in the contest at 65 minutes McKenry inside the 30 he’s been good tonight Sam it’s a hell of a leap that he’s made in rugby league in the last 12 months or so now Greg Eastwood can he pull

Something out he’s the sort of player that he can just about do anything he’s a big forward but he’s also Clever Marshall using Harrison talking of cleverness this fellow is good Harrison he’s 11 away from the oh he loses the ball getting up it’s a penalty to the keyways against Cameron

Smith well that’s the bonus they need to turn this into points now that because that’s a bonus the Australians giving the kiwis a golden opportunity that’s McKenry gallon working on the head the ball goes down it’s a another penalty gall’s put the knee in not in a foul manner but simply to

Discomfort McKenry in his attempt to get up and play the ball so again we start on one and that again is mckendry going to give it to someone else he’s out in his feet mckendry lul it’s gone away from Smith to Eastwood he’s lost the ball yep Str to get the

Advantage yeah eight out from their line gle’s got it now it is with miles now trying to labor the point they just don’t get to that that stage where they can bring the main act into play is Tonga 35 away from the line and again for me that’s the or an experience

That’s that’s being part of a smart team that can go to the wall and come out the other side and Australians these players have done it so often at this level New Zealand just haven’t quite got that yet so it’s with gallon and he’s swamped Over the Top by Harrison we’re on the

Halfway line Smith for CR K puts a kick down towards oh high it might go dead yes it will it will come back to the 20 the kiwis will relish there this so we saw it from newala early we saw it there from Eastwood you know forwards just

Half through and a low percentage play trying to pass the ball you know when their driv is to get into field position and as you say bring the main act into play it’s not up to them to win it it’s up them to get him into position to win

Nightingale just watching the Kiwi forwards getting back behind the 20 M line several of them I think I use the word relish they were reeling in the in the little little spell that they were given and here they are getting Isaac ready to come back into the game and

Here’s Blair will play the ball 5 m into Australia’s half of play it’s 126 the kangaroos looking to hold the trophy Eastwood will play it 40 m out tackled by Cameron Smith Lula to Fi Fi gets it rolling it’ll go down to that dead ball line might ask the question

Question to do it’s asked the question of Slater they’ll pick him up and put him back good defense New Zealand yeah big play there got an unfavorable bounce did Billy Slater as the fans in the crowd for the kiwis realize that that could be one of the big plays if they can capitalize

Good kick from Nathan F bad bounce for Billy Slater good Chase from the black jerseys all right all the pressure is on one man isn’t it I mean because you’re great you live with that expectation and that’s what Benji Marshall has to live with and he’s become a more accomplished

Player in his ability to deal with it but all of New Zealand is now looking to their number six he’s got to come up with something and do it now Smith with the line drop out and a good kick it was his Blair taken by Shillington after the initial tackle was

By Nate miles now Marshall gives it to Eastwood and waits on The Blind Side does Marshall Isaac Luke goes to him now then he goes to Harrison Harrison sees the sideline gets the ball away in time Kenny has it and it’s told by AR to play the ball the Nightingale and acting half

And it’s gone infield to Marshall across the ground dummy dummy give Lula wide outs with Fi Fi tries to baffle gidley got the ball back to HOA HOA then comes back and then he gives the ball to Jeremy Smith somebody had to go forward Jeremy did that Isaac goes in looks for

A hole gets the ball away to Nathan fi and it’ll be played 9 M out from the line by Nathan fi here’s L LA onto her back to Marshall a Juggle he grubber kicks in for M go oh he’s a genius the dragons are scored the dragon wing ofing

Gale off a kick from Mar he’s a genius we’re going upstairs to make sure that Jason Nightingale is on site they’re looking to get home on the little men New Zealand they’re all out there they’ve left them there Nathan fi ha Benji Marshall L white Isaac Luke and

Benji he’s come up with a surprise play here the Australians not expecting this they’ve got up quickly and that’s why he kicked because they were up so quickly off their line R toiri 15 M off his line big man to turn and Chase and Nightingale sneaks in

Behind that that is brilliant you know I was just talking about living with expectation and Benji Marshall would know that unless it comes from him it’s not going to happen the rest of his teammates know unless it comes from him it won’t happen well it’s got to come from him again with the

Conversion so the try is there the kick is still to come [Applause] Benji Marshall has provided the absolute spot on Kick for Jason Nightingale from the San George aawara Premier Well there’s the the TriCore Jason Nightingale he’s a very good player grossly underrated he’s a real

Workman and it was a touch of irony that the West tigers and the dragons would combine to bring it to 1210 Marshall and Nightingale well he got this ball down pretty quickly on the mark but he’s taking his time as he comes back enormous pressure on the shoulders of this young man

The New Zealand Captain Benji Marshall hits it hits it high hits the upright bounces back into the field to play no goal Andre John sideline oh RS that didn’t go to script who when the big play needed to be done the young champion from New Zealand stood up have

A look at this didn’t know what he’s going to do eyes up swing L deiri there look at the shape of this ball look at the way it bends back towards n Andale that’s freakish he loves it B and then this oh that’s so unfair the framework got in the road you

Cannot believe it it’s clipp the inside of the upright and come back that two- point so vital brilliant kick the good news for New Zealand is there’s still plenty of time in this game a lot of football in 8 Minutes well they’ve got to come 80 M now a few of those meters through S per at two playing in front of a crowd of 36,2 199 which I’m going to say it’s quite disappointing from my point of view given that the match is being played in Brisbane this is

Eastward and a proud figure yeah just just over 36,000 watching a wonderful game of football peppered with mistakes I understand that but here’s Marshall looking for a kick and to reather but the bounce F sler and sler is banged down by Jeremy Smith who almost had a second go at him lucky it

Gets the ball away but takiri that was smart work by Jeremy Smith everyone else was going for the ball and he just worked out that if Slater got it he could run it back the distance the other way so he set himself on the man rather than the ball gidley wonderfully taken

By mannering and here’s Britt Morris and he’s driven down by Eastwood the penalty so important in these dying moments as Paul gallon takes it spins over halfway consecutive sets are gold last tackle now against the Australians loia he’ll kick to in fact he kicks High coming from the

Ho 12 away runs around loia taken around the ankles by th day the FL Nations final is 6 minutes from from the end three of these New Zealand forwards still haven’t got back on side they’re really struggling out there where Australia are up on the line and they’re pressing forward in defense in

Numbers mening plays this ball Luke he can rip you apart he’s back out there the will of the Whisk you play the ball on the halfway line Kenny down picks it up off the ground runs with it takes it to the 40 m line gain of 45 M on the

Five tackles then the kick from Marshall very high down to Slater Oh Billy Slater put it down wow Billy Slater in the mouth of the goal posters put it down no way I don’t think he hit that ball as well as he would have lo I think

Marshall was looking for the big spiral kick and he didn’t quite catch it and it went end over end and Billy took it a little easy thinking this one will be okay and it just spun straight through his sweaty hands but oh look out well he it’s hard

To say he took it easy but he certainly didn’t get in a good position to take it normally that time of kick when you’ve got time you turn your body sideways so that if you do lose it you give it a chance of going backwards but he was

Square to the kick even though it went through his hands and down onto his knee I think he I think he thought he was going to run the length and score a try he just had that that body language about him that I’m just going to catch

This I got a heap of room to move they’re tired he was thinking about his run this is Billy a couple of years ago in the World Cup got pushed sideways and threw it back to Benji well Billy will be having nightmares if this goes against them like a couple of years

Ago boys down in tapes spinning it back a couple of years to remind us of an indiscretion that You’ got to make when you play like Billy Slater Lula they’re right in front of the posts you can see that they’re 6 M out Luke to Jeremy

Smith the line oh my God half a meter out Gall making the tackle with Smith Luke oh bad pass Ohio got it on Marshall’s with the ball he tries something to gety down div on the loose ball himself so five tackles gone and Marshall’s playing the ball so oh comes

In as the the playmaker oh he stabed a an innocuous kick in there and Slater got a gift ball kick to him well he did well brly Slater because it was coming straight at his belly the thoughts of the previous drop would have been on his

Mind it was a grab he had to come up with and now the Australian showing signs of distress few of their players hunched over Cameron spris trying to Marshall them up on the advantage line saying get me some meters keep in mind they’re they’re doing this with 15 oh

Gidley was taken by Eastwood he’s been lethal Eastward in the last 10 minutes or so of the game some of his defense has been great there’s Cameron Smith taken down again by Eastwood and players near the halfway line Australia clinging to a two-point lead charged down by

Isaac Luke but it’s recovered by Billy Slater tackled by Isaac Luke not H then he’s claimed and held down by Manu I got to say Billy Slater was only back there because I’m sure he was getting some medical attention just before there otherwise he would have

Been up in the line looking for kick Chase he was back getting medical attention and the ball landed up in his lap here’s red bird now running at Kenny Dal and Bronson Harrison 10 m into New Zealand’s half ball played by Greg bird Kurt gidley runs it and he runs it and

Eastwood and he drives him down superb defense from Eastwood and now Scott the ball up and Lula at least would make that tackle Australia a 22 M away Trump on the short side rolls one to nigh Andale and Jason is put down tackled by PR and by Tonga 2 and 1

Half minutes New Zealand On Their Own Line Trail by two the Australians 15 against 17 getting tied hanging on Jeremy Smith again punching it up to the 20 M line tackled by Smith and by Miles now goes over from fi and finds Manu they’re out

On their feet New Zeal so FEI now for mannering and he’ll play the ball almost 40 m up the ground but they’ve used five and here he is again Marshall shaving the kick running passing a flat ball across for Kenny D now for ning Gale ning Gale down the right flank the ball

Was touched by a he’s heading for the Post Marshall throws the ball it’s a Speculator but it’s a try it’s a try for thieves now there’s a plenty of inquiry to be done here has kick the ball into the crowd with Jubilation well the biggest query

Is a pass but we can’t rule on it afford we’re looking to see whether the Winger Nightingale has put his foot into touch off the pass from Shan Kenny Dale I think it’s fine only show it quickly but the pass back inside certainly had a question mark on it running it on the

Last this is Jason Nightingale on the outside of teiri he’s in play and that’s going back through the arms of Darren loia Benji Marshall picks it up forget any forward passes we’re not looking at that that one’s gone back and it bounces nicely for Nathan who looks

Up well can you believe it well just add a little bit more to this script the start of the Year first game of the here for Nathan fin he cracks an ankle here he is scoring a match winning try in the four nations final can you believe this Benji Marshall has

Instigated well he’s there at the start of this and he’s there at the finish of it he runs the ball on tackle five he finded a little kick he fed a step got to the outside put Kenny D outside Tonga watch this watch The Genius at work

Tackle play last play he goes to the line finds the kick steps to the outside Bullet likee Pass to Kenny Dal on the nighting goal Speculator back in field who picks it up Marshall he looks like he’ll score he won’t he throws it out

The back F picks it up who can tackle me no one we’re going to win the four nations unbelievable unbelievable New Zealand kiwis they won the World Cup in 2008 didn’t make the final of this tournament last year and a great play there Benji Marshall he

He steered wide and by going to that extra man on the outside that helped create the overlap sha Kennydale just held it long enough to commit L to KI Nightingale did well to stay him inside the the touch line and the backup from the TriCore to be there and from Benji

To stay alive F said they out on their feet well they found something well Benji found something you know after this game this week they’ll be voting for the Golden Boot Player of the Year Marshall I think is just stamped his name on that trophy well he stamped his

Name on the four nations final and now a shot of the Australian bench what’s left of it Luke Lewis of course was lost prior to halftime Brent Tate this is the last play Australia kickoff into the last section hoter in the back it’s come down to Slater throws it in

Loia can’t get rid of the ball it’s over it’s over New Zealand have won it three times out of four in the last four majors they have been successful against Australia and the field just a sea of ecstasy and Jubilation as the kiwis take it out they won the TR

Nations back in5 the World Cup in ’08 they lost the final of this TR nations in 2006 and then became the four nations so they’ve racked up three from four and pulled off one of the shocks of the century well it it’s Benji Marshall’s greatest ever night in all
