A Joey Manu-inspired New Zealand have brought Australia crashing back to earth with a 26-24 upset in their rugby league Test at Mt Smart stadium. The Kangaroos had their 13-game winning streak broken on Saturday and tasted their first Test loss under coach Mal Meninga. It was the New Zealanders’ first win over Australia since the 2015 Anzac Test. Johnson again was allowed to run across field, with Manu popping a magical offload to send Jordan Rapana over to give his side what proved a winning lead at 26-12. Manu did give his side an 8-6 lead when he produced a powerful fend to run over Mitchell in the 35th minute.
