The All Blacks have thrashed the Wallabies. Basically they treated the Wallabies like a second tier team and manhandled them all over the park. It is to be concluded that the Wallabies just DONT have the players that can match up to the Kiwi grit. New Zealand- 51 Australia- 20 ALL BLACKS BEST PLAYERS: (TOP 5) 1) RICHIE MCCAW= Well we dont call him the best #7 for nothing. He also scored a rare double. (Though he did get one yellow for being... Yep you guessed it, offside) 9/10 2) AARON CRUDEN= His kicking game and attack was solid. He tore the Wallabies backline to shreds. 9.5/10 3) CONRAD SMITH= Wallabies struggle to get passed his solid defense, he was great on attack as usual, offering the All Blacks more options. 9/10 4) BRODIE RETTALICK= He had a barnstorming game; and gotr near the try line only to be held up, though he took with him about 4 Wallabies defenders. He notched up 12 tackles and 45 meters. For a lock that is impressive. His presence in the game was felt and won all his line-outs. Very solid game. 8.5/10 5) BEN SMITH= Played his game well, covered well at FB and was a handful for Australia. He broke the line a few times and actually managed to save a try when Israel Folau made an interception. 8/10 WALLABIES BEST PLAYERS: (TOP 5) 1) MICHAEL HOOPER= He tried in vain to pull his team together, making some solid steals and scoring a try himself. Very solid game. 8/10 2) ISRAEL FOLAU= Was the go to man tonight. Every space that the Wallabies created Izzy was there to help them out. He scored one for himself and was close to scoring a double had it not been for Ben Smith. 8/10 3) MATT TOOMUA= Defensively he was very sound. He managed to put in a few big hits particularly on Ryan Crotty in the first half. 6/10 4) N/A 5) N/A -Wallabies need to get the right team cause this was just a disgusting result. Hats off to New Zealand who played a good game but there was really no standouts for Australia tonight. Hopefully their luck changes in the near future, if not.. Argentina will be licking their lips. New Zealand, looking healthier then ever.
