Deans sings the right tune

By David Beniuk

July 26, 2008 IT doesn't get any better, Australia coach Robbie Deans admitted after the Wallabies delivered the Kiwi coach his sweetest victory since taking the helm, downing New Zealand 34-19 in a pulsating Bledisloe Cup Test at ANZ Stadium.

Deans continued his perfect record since taking the Wallabies reins last month with a fifth Test win and, in the process, proved a point to officials in his homeland who reappointed All Blacks coach Graham Henry to the job both men had applied for last year.

Asked if it gets any better, Deans said: "For the moment, no."

Clearly visible in the coaches box during the national anthems, Deans stood motionless – but perhaps not emotionless – during 'God Defend New Zealand' before smiling as he belted out 'Advance Australia Fair'.
