In this special World Cup Final episode of Off the Back Seat, Monty Betham gets behind the wheel of a brand-new GWM Cannon Hi4-T, with Manaia Stewart and Charlie Pomee in the back seat!
Confidence is a dangerous thing before a trans-Tasman showdown, nobody told these three. With the Kiwis set to face Australia in the Rugby League World Cup final on Sunday, former Kiwi and Warriors legend Monty Betham, Manaia Stewart and Charlie Pomee climb in to work out exactly how New Zealand gets it done.
Charlie’s not hedging: “I reckon the Kiwis are going to take it. I mean it with every fibre in my body.” He sees James Fisher-Harris leading a forward pack that exposes Australia through the middle before the Kiwis unleash out wide. Manaia’s analysis is less technical but more cutting: “The Australians have got no backbone, no ticker, no mana” and reckons a big haka is the first tactical win of the night.
Betham, as Kiwi No. 691, is more measured, wary of Reece Walsh, and of Cameron Munster the moment he starts playing “backyard footy.” He remembers New Zealand’s only World Cup, back in 2008. Manaia remembers watching it with his dad, and he’s forecasting something bigger: Australia “letting go of the rope” around the hour mark, and roughly 40-20 to the Kiwis. Brave words with no Australians in the car.
