Hindmarsh lauded in debut test effort
Nathan Hindmarsh justified his call up to test level in Australia's big win against New Zealand last night.
Today the media is lauding Hindmarsh's effort in what was an outstanding team performance.
Said Paul Kent in The Daily Telegraph: "As the game wore on Nathan Hindmarsh became the dominant forward runner on the field.
"Hindmarsh was outstanding. Sometimes maligned at rep level, he played his best game of football in a rep jersey last night, his short legs pumping as he went through tackler after tackler. "
Also in the Telegraph, Petre Frilingos wrote: "Nathan Hindmarsh broke enough one-on-one and gang tackles to prove he has shaken the representative monkey off his back."
The game wasn't so good for Nathan Cayless who clashed heads with his brother and had to be replace. He did however return later in the game, so may be a chance of playing for The Eels today.
