picked it up quickly didn't they once the er ball had been maintained and they spin it back to the open side knowing that ridge'd have to make the tackle so there was no one at home at full back they were looking to get the overlap it was just that the pass was perhaps BEHIND hancock and that slowed the momentum of the try of the try movement down but new zealand win the scrum back it goes to shelford starts to have a little run and he gets up to half way so a good game there by shelford over the top comes lynda the referee telling him to <&>1:00 get off now back it goes to mcgann as the rain pours down little wee short <.>there ball there from lonnegan to nikau but nikau <.>couldn't break through good tackle from roberts coming across so the kiwis keeping it short at the moment and alf freeman putting one in behind running back is belcher it's holding up ten metres out from the try line three metres in from the touch line he picks it up starts to run he's confronted by new zealand there's THREE black jerseys out there and they put him to the ground on the quarter line far side of the ground so australia defending at the moment shearer looking to jink and jive and trying to find a way through but he can't and the kiwis go back to the ten metre line back it goes there to roberts roberts starts to accelerate but he's confronted and he slips the loose ball away it's gone on the ground mcgann's after it and he's hit serendon tries to pick it up this is his second big bust serendon wide sidestep gets away there from er brown then he loses the ball in the tackle and the kiwis have come up with it ridge dived on it good tackle from freeman so the two balmain boys meet in the middle of the park the big and the small and it's the little guy that came out on top watson cuts away the left can't quite get <&>2:00 through to get it serendon in the action with the tackle new zealand thirty metres away from dummy half to shelford shelford on to nikau he's got no support all he can do is go straight ahead the kiwis prepare to wrap back to the left NOW nikau goes down <,> shelford to dummy half freeman looks for the cover because he had to go low to take the pass comes back round to the right looking for a runner still goes on and on running across field but all round him the swinging arms come over the top but he ducks underneath that shot from mcgraw who DOES like to go high now brent todd just charges ahead for new zealand he's worked it out with the last tackle for the kiwis just outside the quarter line near side of the field back to the open is shelford he'll put up a kick up it goes word chases belcher comes forward it bounces away it's free it's free for NEW zealand a try <,,> sam taniwha he's given it to sam taniwha a TRY that was BRILLIANT from sam taniwha the pace was on to meninga had to run back todd <&>3:00 bailey's all smiles in the stand and so are the crowd here sam taniwha's got a <.>sm a smile as wide as cook strait because the kiwis have fought back in the opening few minutes of the second half it's now twelve to four the bomb kick from shelford it had ice on it it was HIGHER than the millard stand as it came down it came down with almost a parachute he juggled with the ball and sam the man scored the TRY tank gordon how about that crowd kiwi kiwi oh certainly a great feeling the crowd's got behind them down here and you can feel <.>h feel the emotion from the crowd as that was a great kick there from kelly shelford and ad meninga had them ALL guessing where the ball was going and certainly that's what we've got to do in this second half keep the ball down there let australians make the mistakes and the crowd's going mad here what a great performance <,,> that crowd's getting in behind the kiwis here they're really loving this given the conditions this is tremendous football from BOTH sides let's give credit to BOTH sides here they're <&>4:00 chucking the ball around here's ridge fifteen metres in from touch <,,> bootlace in from the twenty two he's got the wind at his back he's got to kick it away really to the righthand post and bring it round the crowd hush for a moment meninga waiting on the goal line the australians bunched taking his time matthew ridge he knows how important this is in he comes he's going towards the post let's have a look at the touch judges no he's pushed it away it didn't come round for him so it remains at twelve four so ridge missing <.>i missing the kick but the kiwis back into the match twelve to four six minutes into the second half i know it's so glib to say it but they MUST score again if the australians were to score next at least we've got a game now it's an AMAZING game in these conditions allen isn't it the SKILL level er one try yesterday three tries today from the kick off back it goes ridge lets it bounce around now he's got it at his third go <&>5:00 almost hits dean mulligan comes away and the ball's up for tackle in cleanly low that time he might have got the word dwayne mann he's the dummy half he looks around he runs now they pick him up they put him down ten away from new zealand gary freeman goes into at his er seventy kilos tawera nikau picks up pace hits the line hard but the australians hit him hard too ball back inside the new zealand quarter dwayne mann flicks it out to todd todd won't take any risks he works it up almost to the new zealand quarter line that's three tackles god as whitfield says get back australia matthew ridge he kicks up field waiting putting a pass out is dave shearer he's got it belcher looks to link up with him but oh oh he's a wide and they say welcome to athletic park down they go dave watson along with barry williams back to belcher it goes he runs right back in the ruck area and he's DRIVEN back the kiwis are inspired oh great tackle there from watson he absolutely BURIED shearer now australia have got the ball bella he's taken beautifully in a STRONG tackle <&>6:00 there good tackle from er brent todd so brent todd the kiwi front rowers i think have held themselves today against this much vaunted australian attack and there's a loose ball from roaches could go over the sideline one of the kiwis have come up over but he SLID over the sideline almost sliding as if he was sliding down the slopes of mount hutt as he hit the deck he was laughs away over the sideline heading for the millard stand so it's going to be the scrum but i think er we'll see what happened there it's gonna be australian feed yes it is they win it ON half way they sprint it they've got er belcher coming out wide they miss out meninga give it to belcher gets it out to mcgraw but he's he slips over watson's the man who put the pressure on him ridge is up there so no full back at the moment hannaba's dropped back but he's on the open side and not on the closed side here's a charge there from lynda tries to get away held in the tackle of lonnegan but then slipped away so <.>the both sides looking to lift the pace at the moment here's bella starting to have a charge it's just opening up a little bit now for the big fellers we've seen charges from BOTH sides in the front row back it they go now hanna goes <&>7:00 there to daley daley holds it up gives a short ball to belcher he's found a hole belcher he offloads to meninga he's run into a traffic jam the red light's up there they'd knock him over on the far side of the ground todd made the tackle again he got across from one side to nail the big centre now that he's canberra team mate here's walters having a run as i said before not too much running from dummy half today LAST tackle australia nikau holding him down langer fighting er walters looking for the er penalty here's er daley puts up a high bomb waiting for it a lot of pressure here it's holding in the breeze mcgann takes it knocks it forward but off side australia ian roberts says what are you talking about ref was <{1><[1>MILES outside and roberts says you're off side don't talk to me get back so the debut boy <,> one englishman talking to another <{2><[2>word ian roberts is australia's er england born <[1>i'm watching <[2>he's getting tank gordon what was er whitfield telling him then i think he's sin binned him for FIVE he's SIGNALLED that he's going to sin bin him <{><[>word <[>but overruled him he's talked <.>he he's overruled it and he's er <&>8:00 roberts has got back to his position meanwhile the kiwis have cleared the ball ten short of half way there's the tap up to brent todd he makes the half way line he makes on the advantage line one metre inside the australian half twelve four australia lead twelve nil at half time as brown goes on the charge milligan overruns him and knocks er lynda flying as well lance steed new zealand ball on the left to mcgann mcgann looks to straighten things up and oh he takes a fairly high one and whitfield the referee wasn't watching that time that was lynda freeman a little kick ahead but the chase is outside word goes across there belcher goes back he can't get near it has he got it <{><[>oh he does word <,,> oh <[>he word the ball has he NO belcher's hurt belcher's hurt but he JUST got there he almost lost that ball on his goal line <,,> there was no hurry to get up belcher <,,><&>3 but they've made shearer play it so shearer plays it he flicks it away and we're now australia rucking the ball away from their own quarter and belcher's still down getting attention on the <&>9:00 far side but on goes the play as bella gets the ball he puts his head down he takes it away australia trying to ruck it out of their quarter though ahead twelve four yes nice tackle again from dave watson he's reading those freeman kicks beautifully here's shearer and he's the danger man he's made two busts already now the kiwis pick him up oh and they THROW him to the ground there's a bit of FEELING in this match now whitfield goes in and says oh take it easy lads australia it's really starting to pace now starting to open up last tackle coming up australia great set of defensive work here for new zealand they've kept them pinned for five they're gonna have to get it back to to daley daley he he just away from brown puts his kick down field waiting for it dropping it in the sack is ridge on half way he's confronted by two australians he voc tries to get away there from meninga oh as the RAIN sweeps in meninga goes in there with a bit of feeling too and THROWS ridge to the ground on half way this is really turning into a GRAND football match in these conditions back it <{><[>goes <.>to oh it's been dropped there by morven edwards australia on the counterattack they get it out to hancock there's plenty of black jerseys there can they nail him they eventually get him and hold him up it's <&>10:00 morven edwards who dropped the pass must be pretty cold out on the wing he hasn't had the ball for a long time and his hands would be feeling like ice at the moment <[>oh no now they get it on to ray chasman and roache brierly goes forward looks to get the ball away can't do so nikau's got him but they've got five passes to go on the new zealand quarter now they get it out to roberts roberts runs across field master putting the ball over the top he's driven back in the tackle by mcgann new zealand must watch it now down twelve four as bella goes away on the right they've got him they've got bella on the quarter line australians still with THREE tackles to go on the left to langer langer feeds it out now to er getting back in to daley daley gets the ball back inside er roache pops the ball over the top and mcgann spot tackles as lynda flicks it back across to langer langer breaks the vantage line oh roberts almost away can't quite get the ball away last tackle for australia just inside the new zealand quarter to the right to the posts but they word on the ground to langer langer kicks through the runners are there can't be taken clear by word pines word ridge's got it and he caught <&>11:00 it in mid air it'll be a goal line drop out tank gordon how about that pressure down there oh certainly a lot of pressure and and new zealand are keeping them out they're playing it well their defence pattern is working real well at this moment australia is certainly USING their bigger man and using the pressure on three and four and then moving the ball wide the intensity of the game has REALLY lifted since half time we've had just on fourteen minutes and the kiwis under enormous pressure no sign of any reserves warming up at the moment australia probably if you look at it from er a fairly fair point of view they do have a bit more strength on the bench and maybe the changes could come soon but er both of these sides giving everything there's the dropout from ridge it goes up to half way daley picks it up goes over the muddy patch he hasn't really hit top gear he's only in second at the moment off loads the ball to mcgraw he tries to free up the ball but he can't get it away to hancock and he SLIDES along the ground good tackle for morven edwards looking to push <&>12:00 through in the tackle referee could have penalised him there there's roberts taken there by er ah by todd he gets the ball away to walters fires a lob pass out to daley they're really starting it to open it up this is incredible football <.>g given in the conditions almost aerial basketball australia making ground here as freeman makes the tackle in centre field australia have the ball back it goes to walters on to er langer on to pat belcher belcher tries a kick diving on the ball is serendon it's gone loose then morven edwards picks it up so the kiwis have come up with possession ON the quarter line ten metres in from touch and RIDGE was the man who dived on it both ridge and er morven edwards look very similar but ridge is the man who made the tackle made the dive on the ball and er it's now williams to take it up new zealand's stretched banny lonnegan leaves it behind the ball bounces around it's gonna be australian ball or a knock on oh that was DANGEROUS stuff the kiwis have looked stretched in the last few minutes tank gordon have you had that feeling they're just that they could be in bother if they don't steady down for a few minutes <&>13:00 oh certainly that that new zealand's panicking a bit at this stage but australians playing it for field position at this stage away on the left to belcher he gets it on out wide to mcgraw but the new zealand defence particularly freeman comes across to take him but australia whip the tackles mcgraw's slow getting up as they're coming away from the left is lynda inside the new zealand quarter one of the kiwis is down backplay the <{><[>referee says no knocked on and the kiwi beat word attention tank gordon <[>darryl williams darryl williams is reading a detention he got a <.>k boot from er mcgraw there in the back of the head and er mcgraw just kicking free with the legs and er williams was on the bottom of that one but er vital time for new zealand to get the ball back freeman to feed the scrum they've got to get out of here they're under a lot of pressure they put the weight in the scrum this is good football here they're pushing the weight in the scrum he's the referee's telling them to stay in stay in stay freeman now gets it out there to ridge ridge is going to kick on the first tackle he puts long one there's no one home because belcher was in the back line there's a long chase here there's plenty of cover this is an eighty metre kick it's gone right down to the dead ball line shearer has to go pick it pick <&>14:00 up who's up there dwayne mann the hooker got out of the scrum to get up there word shearer mein's over there to finish him off he takes him twenty metres out from the try line australia back in their own corner good chasing back by shearer though and must rocket away australia as new zealand pin them far side of the field by the millard stand australia back in their own quarter back they give it in there accelerating trying to come through the line is ridge down they go still inside their own quarter now the kiwi tacklers are keen again <&>14:34
