NZ Hawks too tall and clean for Nauru Chiefs

I really do think the benefit of the AFLNZ Premiership competition is going to kick in massively for them. Those 10 rounds of footy played each of the last 2 years is arguably the best standard 'premier' division being played. They were very well drilled on the day - and that's what is clearly evident via the I/C rotations. They go hard, they come off 'stuffed' and have a breather and then go back out and go hard again. The other nations - Ireland, US, GB, PNG - had better take a look and work out how to combat it. Need to keep fresh legs coming through the mids or they'll be left behind.

For NZ that higher standard national league, plus more playing in Australia now, the spread in size, the kids coming through that have played since juniors, all suggests NZ should be very good by now. With SA seemingly stagnating and lacking some size (the Afrikaans key position players of the past appear to be absent), with PNG lacking height and it seems composure with ball in hand, it would seem Ireland and NZ will be the teams to beat. The big key positions for Ireland could do very well in the GF at the MCG in good conditions, whereas NZ could have an edge around the packs.

But it only takes one upset by say GB or the USA to spit one of the favourites out.---
