New
Zealand legend Jonah Lomu fears back-rowers David Pocock and Michael Hooper
will give Australia the edge in the breakdown in the World Cup final.
Lomu
believes the All Blacks' talent to invalidate Australia's 2 breakdown
specialists will determine the result.
"If
there's any team who can give New Zealand a run for their money it's Australia
because they're the only team to beat them this year," said Lomu.
"Australia's
speed into the breakdown will give the All Blacks a headache."
