The two things we must do to even compete is to match them in the forwards and ensure we have a very good tactical kicking game to keep both sides pinned back.

Unfortunately i don't think we have players within the squad who are can control the game with the boot to keep us in the game

two words...the first word starts with D and the second starts with B

New Zealand showed a blitz defense to be proud of, they was in their faces from the start, I would start with our toughest and roughest pack we can muster peacock, Morley, westwood, Ellis,
bring on our strongest centres even if its Sykes and put our faces in the Aussies from the start,
I would rather we went down fighting than trying out play them on the wings, speed from the line shut down their fast passing where was Lockyer tonight ?
even slater was papping him self and was always looking to release the ball

I'm wondering whether playing Westwood or even Ellis in the centre's maybe worthwhile. Like you say we have to impose ourselves and rattle a couple of cages like Newton use to do!
