I just ran across this interesting statistic from the Oz-ABs match:
Interesting fact: Australia had only 27 percent possession in the entire match. Yet they managed to score 34 points, and win by 15, one of the biggest winning margins between the two teams in Tri-Nations history. It shows just how deadly the Wallabies were on attack. Conversely New Zealand's loss despite 73 percent possession illustrates their ineffectiveness with ball in hand, as well as the enormity of Australia's defensive effort.
I would never have expected an NZ loss with a 73% possession rate.
