Congratulations Australia, arguably this years squad is the best ever just look at the stats in knock out matches they won 62-0 64-0 34-2 and for the tournament in total they scored 272 points and only conceded 24 points off which england scored 20 in the first game so the last 5 games they have conceded 2,0,0,0,2 remarkable

Was it just me but wasnt the In Goal area way too small and very dangerous I know Old Trafford holds many Rugby League matches I have not recalled the in goal area being so small before

It was a shame the final was so one sided, as it meant the crowd was very subdued. I'm not sure if the semi had taken a lot out of the kiwi's physically and emotionally, but they seemed to lack intensity.

Those in goal areas looked really short. Maybe 5m at most from the angle we were sitting. Lucky no one got hurt!
