There was a spot on Samoa\u2019s left edge for Tonga to target last week and in a two-point result, it was arguably the difference.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dallin Watene-Zelezniak should\u2019ve had one early & Robert Toia was denied a few himself before eventually taking a Haumole Olakau\u2019atu offload to the house.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If we can take anything from Tonga v Samoa last week, it\u2019s that the Kangaroos will have some joy down that right touchline if they play it smart. Tom Dearden in the halves and Reece Walsh out the back will be key to this – Dearden straightening things up on the tramlines and Walsh sweeping into three-on-two\u2019s on the edge.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tom Trbojevic brings a ridiculous height advantage into this contest and the Kangaroos would be silly to not isolate him over the top of Sua Fa\u2019alogo a few times here, but \u2018Turbo\u2019 is just as likely to dine out on the end of any Australian right edge backline movement.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019ll be fireworks early but I like the Kangaroos to kick on here.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction<\/strong>: Australia to Cover the Line (-7.5) Points @ $1.90<\/p>\n
