Sport | Rugby League – New Zealand break English hearts
Victory was snatched from England last week with a last minute try from New Zealander Shaun Johnson. Both teams had great performances throughout the world cup and with a place in the final at stake each needed to bring their best. There is always a stigma to play the Kiwis at rugby league, they have expert play with the ball in hand and are a real power in attack. However England were the first to draw blood, fuelled by the passionate crowd that surrounded them they were fierce in their play. Prop James Graham made a spectacular run down the pitch to stop a New Zealand try and then turn the ball around, providing O’Loughlin with his own try giving England a foothold in the match. The indisputable highlight of the game came 30 minutes in as England were leading 80. A high kiwi pass looks to be heading out only for a jump and slap to bring it back into play. From here New Zealand looked dangerous and continued to make their way towards the line. Another huge pass sailed over all the players and bounced out to touch. Suddenly Krisnan Inu runs for the ball and dives over the line whilst simultaneously passing the ball back in for a waiting player. The pass was so close to being over the line that the decision had to go to the TMO but it was fairly deemed in. The incredible pass lead to a New Zealand try which made the two teams level, which they would remain for the rest of the half. The Kiwis came back into the match strong, they were the first to score and it looked like England’s world cup dreams might end early. However they came back with a strong performance of their own. Two quick tries from Watkins and Burgess, but only one conversion, them a steady lead but you are never safe against New Zealand. Late into the second half, when hope was at its highest George Burgess is done for a high tackle of Sonny Bill Williams. This lead to Sinfield’s opposite man Shaun Johnson getting the ball deep in the England half and breaking through the defensive line in the last play of the game leaving the score 2018 and knocking England out of the World Cup. In one weekend the Kiwis showed their awesome power at comebacks in both Rugby League and Union, never before has a force acted to unite England and Ireland than a joint hatred of New Zealand.
