Rugby League WC Final - Should Have Skipped It
By Paddy Power November 21 2008
Call it Madge Bishop's intuition or whatever, but we always had a gut feeling that the holders of the World Cup for the last 33 years, Australia, would win a tournament that's being held in Australia in front of thousands of Australian fans. Proving that they should have handed the Kangaroos the trophy about four weeks ago and taken an extended holiday, Australia face a team they trounced by 24 points last month, but coach Ricky Stuart reckons beating everyone with ease isn't the best way to prepare for the match with New Zealand. "The last two weeks is probably not the ideal preparation in regards to playing a final," said Stuart, confusing us. At 10/11 to win -18pts, will the Aussies show Roos boss in the final?
