[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 230657"] Just looked at the stats and Australia had to make 57 more tackles than NZ.....that equates to more than 9 sets to defend.....or it equates to 11 sets if you don't count the kick on the last as a tackle.  Too much tackling can take the sting out of you when it comes to attacking...and when you have had two easy games against PNG and Fiji the fitness might have been stretched too far. NZ also kicked over 267 more metres than Australia...a huge amount.  Granted that may be the fact that they had to kick on the last set from in their own half....but it does show that wherever they were on the field they always managed to kick the Aussies back into their own 20 metre area at least.  Therefore the Aussies had to work hard for the chance to get close to the NZ line.  Nathan Fiens kicking was crucial for NZ.
