Thread: Kiws thrash Poms in Rugby League

New Zealand 34-4 Great Britain





New Zealand celebrate Manu Vatuvei's second-half try

New Zealand: (16) 34
Tries: Vagana, Webb 2, N Cayless, Vautuvei, Wiki
Goals: Jones 5
Great Britain: (4) 4
Tries: Ellis

Great Britain's hopes of reaching the Tri-Nations final suffered a major blow as they were totally outplayed by a dominant New Zealand in Wellington.
Stacey Jones gave a masterclass at scrum-half, while his forwards' display provided the platform for the Kiwis' record winning margin over the Lions.
Nigel Vagana and Brent Webb (2) put the Kiwis 16-4 up at half-time, with Gareth Ellis scoring Britain's only points.
And the Kiwis added three more tries after the break as the Lions crumbled.

very sad news indeed.

but apart from the all blacks, what has kiwi land done for the world?

Eh? Eh??

The dessert, not the dancer!

Kiwi fruit

^ The name only, when I was a lad they were called chinese goosberies , then some bright bugger cane up with the new name and they sold Plane loads to the Joymans at outrageous prices.

His statue has always been the main feature at the Timaru airport so it's not 'new' news in that area...fokin yanks gotta be 'first' at everything...I mean ask your average seppo about origin of the Statue of Liberty...great story for the francophiles...

True ! and they still are (bit like my nutsack) but Chinese Goosberries are the same as Kiwi fruit. If you continue to argue with me I shall hit you with my Hone heke Or whatever that big greenstone clubbie thing is.
