Australia and New Zealand battle for a place in the RLWC2021 final | Cazoo Match Highlights 

Yes rugby league is Australias game rugby union is NZs game

The womans rugby world cup final was better more dramatic,better crowd,better atmosphere and a NEUTRAL ref

@@Trajan2401 hilarious. that awful match had 20 mins of ball in play. I think union's product is a lot better than it used to be - that Ireland vs France match in the six nations was a belter. but to use that game of an example shows you have awful taste in sports

@@sean_43 no ur right ! But In fact australia has 26 million to choose from Nz only 5 million !

@@sean_43 hmmm point taken I guess , but I mean I still disagree I think australia has the advantage still but they just don’t market rugby yawnion in Australia in the same fashion league gets a run here

@@sean_43 yeah but if u were to break it down into percentages 5% of 25mil is 1.25 mil , compared to 5% 0f 5 mil is like 250 thousand which is what he’s trying to say not to mention our best players are playing union , more playing numbers means more potential elite talent, duhh

Ya hardly minnows mate , you have been playing in the toughest competition for 20 years or more , and if you can't step up now , you never will , hats off to the cuzzies over the ditch , disappointing yes , but an achievement , non the less

@@sean_43 if South Africa, nzl , wales , England, Scotland, France, Ireland, Argentina, Fiji , Samoa, Tonga, Japan, USA etc all put their resources into rugby league and there was no union or nfl would Australia still dominate?? Because teams like USA and South Africa would dominate league because of there speed size and aggression and vice versa in union, all blacks and kangaroos have the advantage of playing minnow sports, if all these countries poured there playing numbers and resources into league the Aussie would not be as dominant

Exactly! This guy is spitting facts.

Thanks Voss....

With an aussie ref you cam guarantee which way it will go...he eased Australia over the line with repeat sets...well done to him

@@porthard5951 Not to mention being completely oblivious of the many forward passes.

@@porthard5951 you have to be joking mate , sounds like a bit of sour grapes , looking to blame the ref , when it comes down to not being able to match the skills , there was no bleating from the kiwis when he reffed the final ,when NZ beat Australia , can't just wear one shoe mate , as it will have you hobbling , suck it up , like we have had to do when beaten by NZ , you were outplayed is all

Aged well

Us Kiwis were robbed bro that disallowed try at 44 minutes should of been award but no the Australian referee wouldn’t.

@@Will.Flavell blaming the refs and playing victim is soooo typical. GROW UP STANLEY. You got beaten by a superior team US AUSSIES.

@@Robrulz666icloud AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE CHEATS CHEATS CHEATS!!!! 😂😂😂

@@Will.Flavell Like I said GROW UP STANLEY… we are winners and WORLD CHAMPIONS 🇦🇺 Likewise our WOMEN’S TEAM DAMN YOU MUST BE HURTING 🤣🤣

@@Robrulz666icloud dont know what game you were watching mate, kiwis one this by two tries

They found a way by having 14 players on the field

@@Trajan2401 yes kiwis are good at that

@@jackjohnson6230 ,it's worse when it's a host ref no wonder leagues a joke and no one outside Aussie and PNG care about it

@@jackjohnson6230 ,that whole league world cup was a joke cricket scores,poor crowds,teams made up of NRL players,host refs etc no wonder league is dead.

@@Trajan2401 still doesn't change facts

North islanders?

NEW ZEALANDERS YOU ARSE!!!!!

@@joelhungerford8388 Te Ika O Maui

I totally agree. How can an Aussie be in charge. Should have been neutral Ref. Although it may not have have changed result and congrats to Aus for winning we got some shit calls. Shoulder charges in NRL are penalties but Klein did nothing on a couple of occasions. Biased prick.

Stolen election

Ok by that you mean he cheated for the aussies. Please specify because all i can see are forward passes let go for the kiwis.

I can’t believe they let this born Australian ref to referee their own game and now they chose him to run the final against Samoa. This is bs. They know, this is the only way they beat us, their ref their committee. After this we should all pull out from their league if this is how their Organizations run their sport.

@@redfern03 Geez I don't know what game you were watching. You tell me what minutes of the game they were cause after watching replay I couldn't see any

Bring back the four nations

@@hshahahah2819 england dont want that smoke erry year g. Not by nz or aussie bol

​​@@chrlztarau2467 yes they do want it. Tournaments can't get more competitive if they rarely play. I'd personally prefer to have an annual 6 Nations, with England, Aus, Tonga, Samoa, NZ and a qualifying team from the rest. Play every year apart from when there is a world cup and alternate between Northern and Southern hemisphere. We need to learn from Union on the international scene.

@@RandomShart The issue is money and support. Aside from Australia, everyone in RL has always been financially struggling. If the ARLC/NRL invested more into expanding the game outside of Oceania, it could create a large viable market worldwide which would also help the NRL by way of TV rights and merch sales. "A rising tide lifts all boats." The Pacific islands RL don't have money because they're small economies. NZ RL doesn't have money because their country's main focus is RU. England RL doesn't have enough money because their country's main focus is soccer and RU. On top of that, Europe lacks competition for England and France RL, while the latter makes no money at all. IMO growing the game in Turkey and Jamaica (sizeable amateur scenes in both), growing the game in Ghana, Nigeria, Brazil, Serbia and Lebanon, and setting-up RL in Algeria (many ethnic Algerians in French RL), Iran (great at soccer and wrestling) and Ukraine (not as occupied with wrestling or basketball as other ex-USSR states) should be top priority.

@@hshahahah2819 Six Nations, the big 3, and Probably Samoa/Tonga/Fiji, Kumuls, Lebanon and France whoever is ranked next highest can compete with whatever team comes last to compete for qualifying into the tournament?

But own the Aussies even more in union lol

It was great, but the England/Samoa game edges it.

Racist refereeing and game commentary reflects badly on the game. Shame on you rugby league

NZ were so so close to winning this 😔

@@chrisquillsthakl They deserve to win 100% and even though so many things went against them they still nearly pulled it of. All I can say is I know who the better team was and so do you. The mighty Kiwis. What about Toa Samoa beating England you little ripper I know who ill be wanting to win next week and Ill give the mail it's definitely not Australia.

@@markwhelan9887 Thanks mate, if anything it will really make international rugby league really exciting if Samoa somehow manages a win and would really spice things up for the next world cup in France, really get the Aussies on the Revenge path, and simulate more interest, honestly I feel like many Aussie league fans care much much more about the nrl, and state of orgin than the Kangaroos, test matches and the world cup, just so use to winning all the time.

Rubbish. All i can see are kiwi forward passes let go. And i was at the game.

Should’ve been NZs ball

Yip

not disagreeing with you, but I think hiku should of made his move, to dive from the ball earlier probably would of forced Addo Carr to tackle him early which should be a penalty or even a penalty try but considering the ref and video ref *shrug*.

Half his foot was offside at most.

@@MusMasi or the shadow of the floodlights on his foot, or even his eyes were offside because they were projected where the ball was ,,

Why's he new Zealand coach if he's not good enough for Wests Tigers?

@@guntervonhagen1485 Because there is no high calibre coach in NZ, you come to OZ to learn from the best , to play against the best and to be coached by the best , maybe you should get your coaching accreditation and coach the game for NZ

@@kinchegayowie6167 does he have to be from new Zealand??? Tonga got Wolff samoa got parish smart arse

@@guntervonhagen1485 Why would that be smart arse , no one from there that has the correct coaching accreditation , Im not having a go at them , your the one having the boo hoo moment , step up , your the one that asked the question about Madge , its being answered

@@kinchegayowie6167 your the one to answer it? I can't think of a worse coach right now , west Tigers wooden spoon, new Zealand out in the semis he needs to go my opinion as fuk all to do with you

Kick chase cant enter within the 10 if offside. Rapana i think it was, was offside from the kick and got within 10 meters where the ball landed. Stupid rule but its a rule nonetheless

@@jamespopcorn11 but did rapana make a play at the ball? Or in any way interfere with it? It should’ve been a try if he didn’t do anything for that try to happen

@@faa5568 thats not the rule though, it should be but it isn't... if ur offside from the kick u cant enter within 10 meters..

@@jamespopcorn11 I've seen this kind of play happen all the time, why did they call it out now?

@@64kuki42 nrl, superleague and international game all have different rules and interpretations its a problem with having 3 different boards and governance. In the nrl its still a rule but they use interpretation to rule on it like did it have an affect on play. Superleague and international they stick to the black and white rule of it. Like i said its a shit rule. Nrl is also more lenient on the dummy runner, in superleague even if it happens 15 meters away from the ball they tend to rule obstruction. But then the NRL bring out new rules and laws for their own competition every season without consulting with the international body and super league. It causes shit like this where you watch the nrl all season and see one set of rules and interpretation get officiated and then u seen this shit happen and people think its a conspiracy or fix but its really not

That game is irrelevant because it was a neutral ref totally different to this

Hey that was a neutral ref so no excuses it's pathetic having an Aussie reffing an Australian game

Hahaha what a salty loser

England in the final? Or is that only in your dreams?

they were not laughing when Toa Samoa beat England.

YES AS A KIWI I WILL REPORT THIS ATROCITIES TO UNITED NATIONS. CHARTER OF HOOMAN RITES.

Lol england women just being robbed by your team.

@@manzonzix5639 how?

@@manzonzix5639 they chose to kick it out with seconds to go instead of tapping it or kicking for goal😂did it to them selves

@@manzonzix5639 Ref gave England a free try. All the calls where going England way until the TMO started to fixed the refs wrong doings.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 how that work out for you?

They got more people at the womans rugby world cup final

Just because your team lost doesn’t mean it was rigged mate. Be less salty and more humble.

A one dimensional response without any thought of what actually happened. Stay in your lameness lane.

Facts bro. Let's go Manu Samoa lol

@PepeLaugh A one dimensional response idiot number 2.

@@tipihihi no you see I watched the game and it was a hard fought victory for the Aussies. The kiwis played such a great game and the disallowed try for Hiku being in front of the kicker was definitely not a rigged decision it’s literally on camera haha. You’re not thinking properly because your emotions are getting the better of you. Calm your tits and accept the loss like a man instead of crying that it’s rigged.

@PepeLaugh I love to see u underestimating the English

What? Give your head a wobble. Its usually a kiwi-England semi with aussies having an easy semi final against some second tier nation. You aussies don’t half whine. Good grief

@PepeLaugh aha shut up you muppet . Not even an English fan but they had a bad game the final would have been so much better if it was England vs Australia in the final

@@harrisonsharp6 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@MusMasi why u laughing u realise I ain’t an England fan I’m just saying it would be a better final England vs Australia

I thimk he means rugby league. But is even so, how would you fact check that
