[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 610050, member: 44360"] Have to say OZ in this one, I know that NZ always step up their game in these huge contests but the quality of the Roos side is absolutely amazing the backline they have is beyond epic. It does speak to the old adage of which route in a tournmanent(or playoffs) is the best one. Is it best to be challenged heading to the ***le game as NZ was last week by England? Or is the route of least resistance, less fatigue but perhaps less intensity better e.g Roos vs. Fiji last week. I also think Australia have been more consistent throughout the World Cup, while the Kiwis have had moments where they have gone to sleep. Australia's bench also looks stronger, and goal kicking is a fairly even affair. Think NZ will have to take all the points on offer and finish most of their chances, finishing their 6's is vital to keeping the Roos backline on defence and not with the ball. Oz were denied in 08, I don't think they will be tommorow, Roos by 8-12 points. Close for first hour with final quarter them pulling away. [/QUOTE]
