Kangaroos pack dominated by Kiwis

Perhaps the biggest downfall of the Roos was the fact their pack failed to gain any real ascendancy in the game.In fact, David Klemmer was the only Aussie forward to hit triple figures (128 metres), while Waerea-Hargreaves (179), Jesse Bromwich (137), Isaac Liu
(135) and Martin Taupau (117) all churned through the yardage for the Kiwis.Because of that, Australia struggled to get out of their own end and their attack was stifled.Damien Cook was expected to play 80 minutes, but needed a rest midway through the second half after doing more defence than he was expecting (42 tackles).
