Last night they were dismantled by a ruthless Kangaroos outfit for the second time this year, going down 26-6 in Perth. The Kiwis had little cohesion on attack and any pressure they mounted was inevitably undone by an error or a poor option. "We don't need to go around them, go through them" urged Leuluai, as the Kiwis walked back after Kevin Proctor's first-half try. The Kangaroos opened the scoring in the ninth minute, and it was a soft try at this level. The Kiwis had sustained periods of pressure but no dividends, while only a brilliant Leuluai tackle on Matt Gillett stopped a third first-half try.
