A three-try performance, including a try assist, was described as the difference between Australia and New Zealand.
The assessment rated it as good as, or better than, Marky Marks' grand final.
Australia began its 2026 World Cup campaign with a comeback victory over New Zealand.
Another player review praised a try and a try-saving effort on Kalyn, while noting that Ponga still scored.
It also mentioned several errors but said the player remained dangerous and kept pushing for victory.
The display was said to set up a compelling contest between Reece and Teddy in the matches ahead.
