My take on some of the players and aspects of the game.
Scrum and lineout aside, Hockings is a powder puff, almost waste of a spot in the team for his lack of involvement in open play.
Lucas is a ball hog. Sure, he can step but 9 times out of ten dies with the ball, even when he has support. Learn to distribute or go away.
Lack of smarts again on show. NZ take a quick 22m restart while not one of the Aussie players was awake or aware of what was going on. NZ score at the other end of the field. Some minutes later, Aussie side presented with a similar opportunity but straggle back to the 22m line to restart according to their drilled in structure for the game. No vision and no awareness of threats and opportunities.
No 7 was our best (McTaggert?).
