Mattpoet I agree the NZ v England semi was one of the best tests I have seen. Whare's pass to RTS was unbelievable. What a finish to the game too. I thought Gaz played well for England too. Sam Burgess and Graham were both very good.
New Zealand 19-man squad: Simon Mannering (capt), Jesse Bromwich, Greg Eastwood, Kieran Foran, Alex Glenn, Bryson Goodwin, Shaun Johnson, Sam Kasiano, Kevin Locke, Issac Luke, Ben Matulino, Jason Nightingale, Frank-Paul Nu'uausala, Elijah Taylor, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Manu Vatuvei, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Dean Whare, Sonny Bill Williams.
Australian 19-man squad: Cameron Smith (capt), Greg Bird, Darius Boyd, Daly Cherry-Evans, Cooper Cronk, Andrew Fifita, Jarryd Hayne, Paul Gallen, Greg Inglis, Brett Morris, Nate Myles, Josh Papalii, Corey Parker, Matthew Scott, Billy Slater, James Tamou, Brent Tate, Sam Thaiday, Johnathan Thurston.
Awesome team effort. I was so happy to see Billy and Cooper score our first three tries.
I was a little surprised JT got man of the match. I thought Thaiday, Parker, Hayne and Slater were all better than JT. There must be something written in the stars that the Kangaroos number 6 almost instantly gets MOTM. Lockyer used to get it quite a lot, sometimes when he didn't deserve it.
