DAVID Nofoaluma again proved his game-changing ability with a try to spark a comeback from the Junior Kangaroos against their cross-Tasman rivals on Sunday.

In blistering heat at Kogarah Oval, the Australian under-21s side were 10 points behind the Junior Kiwis with just 20 minutes remaining.

But the 19-year-old, of Ruse, demonstrated the same X-factor that earned him the Dally M Try of the Year with a spectacular linebreak, before scoring a try to reduce the deficit to 26-22.

Tries to Patrick Mago, Charly Runciman and Mitch Cornish helped the Junior Kangaroos to an emphatic 38-26 victory in front of the senior Kangaroos side, who held a World Cup training session before the game.

The Campbelltown Collegians junior's four-pointer for the under-21s Kangaroos came just weeks after winning the Dally M Try of the Year for his stunning effort during the Wests Tigers' 36-18 loss to the Manly Sea Eagles in round 20.

His incredible debut NRL season included eight tries in 15 games, most of which were either decisive, spectacular or both.
