Match report
That’ll be that. With nothing more to bring you from the live feed I’m going to get going.
It’s a shame the game descended into a one-sided affair because that opening 40 minutes was honestly up there with the best I’ve seen. Australia roared to a 17-0 lead and for a moment I wondered if we were about to witness something remarkable.
In the end, we did. Woodman and Tui were sublime and deserved to be on the winning side.
New Zealand’s title defence off to a great start. Australia will dust themselves off and fancy a crack at Wales and Scotland who play tomorrow.
41-17 tells some of the story, but not all of it. Hopefully I helped fill in the gaps.
Thanks for sticking with me. Catch you soon.
