Final Score: 34 – 19 to Australia

This was an excellent game to watch. Good performance by Australia coupled with an average performance by New Zealand. Brad Thorn once again showed his type of play in the opening minutes of the games, with referee Craig Joubert sending him to the sin bin.

It was a very good performance by Craig Joubert following the dismal performance by Stuart Dickinson in the game between the Springboks and New Zealand

The fiasko surrounding Jimmy Cowan and the alledged blood bin replacement will receive some media attention this week.

Then there is a question mark around the early tackle which could’ve resulted in a try for the All Blacks.

The best of the game is the commentary of Phil Kearns, or as he would put it himself “Rubbish Commentary”
