Hi,
kangaroos will bounce back on the third test . They have a new but gromming players for the comming world cup. They are just getting into the winning groove. Once thats done they are back to their former status as world champions. I would like any one to comment on this . They are the winners during crunch matches. Right guys at the right time of the game. Thats the key to their success. No wonder they hold the heighest title for more than a decade.
