PERTH, Australia (AP) " Australia beat New Zealand 26-6 in a rugby league international on Saturday, boosting the Kangaroos' preparation for the impending Four Nations. "We went away from a few things late in that first half but I thought we played a really clinical second 40. But Holmes' try from a New Zealand error immediately after halftime enlarged Australia's margin, and Inglis ensured a Kangaroos victory with his second try. He fell on a kick which cannoned off a New Zealand player in the in-goal area for his 30th test try. ___Australia 26 (Greg Inglis 2, Valentine Holmes, Darius Boyd, Boyd Cordner tries; Johnathan Thurston 3 goals), New Zealand 6 (Kevin Proctor try; Isaac Luke goal).
