2 top sides in world rugby league so i think we will see quite a tight game with not so many tries.

This is a fantastic Aussie side which has just about everything. Very strong in the forwards, pace on the edges and an excellent defence. With Billy Slater playing a supporting role that have in my opinion the greatest support player every to play this game. And hes had another top season.

NZ have shocked the Aussies a few times in recent seasons but they were crushed last time out. Im sure the manager makes some tactical changes after that one and makes sure they are not so open. Its their best chance of a result. A tight scrappy game that gets very physical. One area where they do look as strong as the Aussies is in the forward line- if forwards get on top they could cause a shock.

As i said i think NZ play this one a lot tighter and try to make it a very physical game. Thats why i go for the points to be low- despite both teams having plenty of class in attack i dont see the backs getting much space to play in. Its not really the best weather for high scoring games at the moment either.
