Genia laments poor Wallabies start

It was just one of those nights for the Wallabies.

It started horribly for them when Will Genia, who would have pushed Leigh Halfpenny mightily close for the title of ‘player of the series’, amazingly made a telling error right from the kick-off. It was probably the only mistake the razor-sharp half-back made in the 240-odd minutes of the series.

“I called for it and Kano (Kane Douglas) came over as if he was going to catch it and we were right next to each other,” said Genia on his costly kick-off error. Then, as it came down, he left it and I went to get it at the last minute. I probably should have been louder so that he left it for me to catch.”
