Kiwis players celebrate after their victory over the Kangaroos at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland. By now the crowd were in full voice, with their "Kiwis, Kiwis" chant, and increased when Manu fended off clubmate Latrell Mitchell to wrestle his way over in the 34th minute. The half turned with a controversial video referee decision, which found a Manu knock-on to deny a spectacular Watene-Zelezniak try. That lit the fire for the Kiwis, with some Manu magic setting up a somersaulting Jordan Rapana six minutes later. That should have sealed the result, but late tries to Felise Kaufusi and James Tedesco set up a grandstand finish.
