New Zealand and Australia played their Four Nations game last night. The Kiwis used a new haka this time round but it proved to be futile because the Kangaroos won 34-20. Australia got their points from two tries by Brett Morris, one try each by Cooper Cronk, Brent Tate, Darius Boyd, and Chris Lawrence; goal-wise, Cameron Smith kicked three, and Todd Carney kicked two. New Zealand got their points from one try each by Frank Pritchard, Jason Nightingale, and Shaun Kenny-Dowall, and Benji Marshall kicked four goals. Nobody got sent to the bin despite all the aggression that took place during the game.
This morning, it was the All Blacks' turn to get the alphabet soup (yes, I do use that pun a bit much); they beat England 26-16. The All Blacks got their points from tries by Hosea Gear and Kieran Read; Daniel Carter added four penalties and two conversions. England got theirs from a try by Dylan Hartley; Toby Flood added three penalties and a conversion. Jerome Kaino was sent to the bin in the 72nd minute for repeated infringing.
