Jamaica Entertain In Heavy Defeat To New Zealand
Jamaica were on a hiding to nothing as they made their way to Hull to take on a New Zealand side who were probably banking on an easy training run in a first meeting between the two nations. The bookies had given them a seventy-four point start on the coupon with most pundits thinking that they would be very lucky to avoid suffering their largest ever defeat which was a 56-4 loss to the England Knights last October.
New Zealand were without Dylan Brown who had been ruled out with illness amongst five changes made for what was billed as a straightforward win. There were three changes for Jamaica but plenty of familiar Super League names in their line up, but they were up against players who play every week in the NRL.
A win would almost guarantee New Zealand the quarterfinals, a loss for Jamaica would ensure that they couldn´t progress.
