[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 609063, member: 12207"] The Kiwis played some truly awful footy against England on the weekend - they didn't produce a decent 5th tackle option until the second half and generally had a high error rate. That said, they do have a pretty impressive side, and these days I try not to take anything for granted against the Kiwis as they always lift against us. I'm still expecting Australia to win though, as I suspect that the England match will have taken quite a toll on them physically and emotionally (SBW reckons it was the toughest game of footy he's ever played in), so it may be hard for them to get up again and they will have to play a lot better to beat an Australian team with strike weapons all over the park. They're definitely going to struggle in the centres (Goodwin is barely 1st grade quality) and with Sheck likely out, they will find finishing a bit of a challenge too. Meanwhile, Australia now may have Slater back, and their only major problem seems to be how to accommodate all the talent in their backline. [/QUOTE]
