NRL 2012

TEST MATCH
AUSTRALIA v NEW ZEALAND

ATS - KANGAROOS -10.5 (x1) WINNER

Just when we thought the season was over this series pops up! Huge match up here, The Aussies have well and truly dominated the Kiwis over the years winning 14 of the last 17 however two of those losses were the 2008 World Cup final & last years Tri Nation final!!! Not the two you would want to drop!

However the Aussies just look a little more potent and with regular reps Slater, Lockyer, Smith, Thurston, Gallan leading the way will prove to strong on home soil. Something tells me Thurston and Lockyer in particular will have points to prove! Darren didn't get the finish he was hoping for at the end of the NRL season due to injury. He will be keen to finish his Stella career on a high!

The Kiwis have their weapons no doubt and Marshall & Foran are great halves to lead the way, but with some key injuries they will go into this match with five rookies! The experienced Aussies get it done here comfortably.

TIP: KANGAROOS 13+
