Unlucky Kiwi's.

As many know, kiwi's were the overall champions after thrashing the Kangaroos in 2008. Their season was going well after being victorious over Toa Samoa(Where I come from) 50-6.

Things got even better when the kiwis were on a winning streak beating yet again their Rivals, England 24-12 and Papua New Guinea, 76-12!

Now I am going to talk about the Kangaroos side. The Aussies started their season a little bit shaky. But after having triumph over England, they started to pick up their game and they eventually accelerated through to a warm up match against the almighty kiwis.

Many have been talking about these 2 teams for a long time. They have shown many of their talents and have impressed some coaches.

As the warm up match was on, it was most probably to see who was going to win the final (which was one week away!).

The kiwis were unlucky when the Aussies scored first. Then another and another. One of the Australians tries were scored by a former Kiwi, Brent Tate.

The kiwis were lucky enough to score a try just after half time. The Aussies led 18-10 at half time.

As the kiwis started the second half by receiving, they ran hard at the Australians. But their skills weren't good enough to overcome the Australian defence. Australia doubled 18 to 34 and the kiwis were in big trouble.

Luckily Benjy Marshall used some of his magic tricks to put Jason Nightingale in line for a try to take the kiwis up to 14. But still boy from whakatane(Benjy Marshall) didn't give in. He set up a try for Shaun Kenny Dowall which took the kiwis up to 20.

Minutes were left in to the game and the Aussies were leading 34-20. Sadly the game was over and the Kiwis were disappointed. I think that the kiwi's are going to win the finals anyway!
