The Kiwis will need a strong start in the Four Nations rugby league final to keep Australias big forward pack on the back foot, coach David Kidwell believes.The New Zealanders have yet to beat the Kangaroos in 2016, with last weeks 14-8 Four Nations pool match loss their third defeat of the year.The defending Four Nations champions suffered a 16-0 Anzac Test loss in May, and were thumped 26-6 in Perth last month.The Kiwis were in danger of missing out on the Four Nations final after being held to an 18-18 draw against Scotland at the weekend, but Australias 36-18 win over England means they will defend their title at Anfield early on Monday (AEDT).Kidwell says its important that the Kiwis get things right from the start, after their execution proved lacking in previous games.I thought Australias big men and outside backs really got them on the front foot - its something weve got to look at and make sure our executions right, he said.Weve got to have the right attitude for Sunday, but Ive got full confidence in this team and the way weve prepared.Skipper Jesse Bromwich says his team know only too well the importance of a good start, something that eluded them in their 34-2 World Cup final loss to Australia three years ago at Old Trafford.If theres anything weve learned, its probably about our start. They came out really hard there, blew us off the park really early and we just couldnt find our feet after that, he said.Its a big ask against Australia, theyve got a very big forward pack. But its something weve been working on, and hopefully we can show that on Sunday.Kidwell still has a tricky decision to make on a replacement for five-eighth Thomas Leuluai, who suffered a double jaw fracture against Scotland.Te Maire Martin is one option, but lacks international experience, while versatile Melbourne Storm backrower Tohu Harris is another possibility after starting at No.6 against Australia two years ago.

History made, Washington Redskins style. Griffins first 11-on-11 play of the 2013 training camp. Like the moon landing, the sort of thing where you always remember where you were when it happened. "Not quite that dramatic," third-string quarterback Rex Grossman said. "But I hear your point." Actually, the payoff didnt match the hype. Griffin ran 16 plays with the first-string offence against a scout team that was mimicking the Pittsburgh Steelers defence in preparation for the Redskins next preseason game. Wearing his familiar black brace on his right knee, Griffin completed 7 of 10 passes with an interception. He moved well in the pocket, although he didnt face much of a pass rush. "Its like he never left," right tackle Tyler Polumbus said. "We hardly even noticed that he just got back in there. He was the same guy he was last year, and the same guy hes been in walkthroughs and 7-on-7 and all that." Griffin had been limited to 7-on-7 drills during camp as he works his way back from reconstructive knee surgery, part of coach Mike Shanahans cautious approach that has tested Griffins patience. The difference between 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 is the presence of pass-rushing linemen who can test the quarterbacks ability to change directions in a hurry. Yet Grossman said it would be a stretch to categorize Griffins snaps Wednesday as true 11-on-11 work. Second-stringer Kirk Cousins, for instance, took back the reins when the starters faced the starters in the two-minute drill, with Griffin again a spectator. "He looks great," Grossman saaid.dddddddddddd "Right at seven months is where I felt like I was healthy when I tore my ACL. Hes pretty much ready to go. I would say hes 90 per cent capable of doing everything." Even so, Grossman understands Shanahans approach. "If somebody were to fall in a competitive drill on his knee, everybody would have second-guessed it," Grossman said. "I think everybodys playing it smart, and Week 1, nobody remembers anything that happened before that. They remember the playoff game and Week 1, and whatever happens in between, nobody cares." Except that they do. Wednesdays announced of 10,111 was one of the biggest of camp, and it drew a disproportional amount of national media. Adding to the drama has been the back-and-forth between Shanahan and Griffin, who has said he doesnt like the coachs practice plan but is following along if it means playing in the regular season opener on Sept. 9. Pierre Garcon, who caught Griffins first 11-on-11 pass, was asked for his take on the way the quarterback has publicly challenged the coach. "We dont necessarily like it, but thats the kind of player he is," Garcon said. "He wants to be out there, he wants to help the team. But hes still got some time. We dont need him for just Week 1, we need him for the whole season." Griffin did not address reporters Wednesday. Shanahan called Griffins work the "next step" toward Week 1. "Hell get more accustomed every practice he has, every rep he gets, and obviously our goal is to get him ready for the first game," Shanahan said. "Hopefully there is no setback." Note: More than 100 members of the military attended the practice. Griffin, the son of Army parents, made a beeline for the group after the workout and signed autographs. ...
