Even against NZ I thought they looked fragile at the back

Let's be honest, Killer and Covs are big, quick, and mobile lads, but they are hardly world-class, and yet they caused Brazil a few serious problems at the back.

Again today, Aussie ripped them open a couple of times that a decent team ought to have scored from.
