Wallabies WIN

By

They've held on... Australia 23 New Zealand 18. That's a good night for rugby in this country. Gutsy, tough... everything you'd want from a game of rugby. That's a long way from 54-34 in the first game of the Rugby Championship.

Now Hodge is having a shot from 53m. In front... but a long way from home. Let's hope he doesn't slip over. Moves in... and he kicks it! Wallabies lead 23-18, two minutes to go!

And they turn it over. Needs to be sent down the park and it is.. ABs with the quick lineout and now a Wallaby penalty. Crowd loves it.

All Blacks get the attacking line out as Nick Phipps enters the fray. Nervous times for the Wallabies here. Need to find something defensively and keep their discipline.

Sopoaga misses and the Wallabies lead by two with just under 10 minutes to play. Wallabies will be desperate to hang on.

TRY to the All Blacks

By

Over they go in the far corner. Rieko Ioane and it's 20-18 to the Wallabies, kick to come, 10 minutes to play.
