Live league Test: Australia v New Zealand

Charles Savory Medallist is Manu Vatuvei. Legend and a half of New Zealand rugby league.

The Kiwis are counting down those last 10 seconds and it is all over! The Kiwis have romped home here. Their attacking performances in the first half were sensational but it was the defensive work in the second that won it for New Zealand. They withstood a barrage of Australian pressure and forced errors from the Aussies.

79 mins. Shuan Kenny-Dowall puts the last cherry on top of a very satisfying sundae for the Kiwis. Oh wait, he doesn't! He loses it on the line. No try.

GI! A Thurston pass to Corey Parker and Parker loses it in the tackle. Shaun Johnson picks it up and he is gone! Greg Inglis is bearing down on him and pulls him down by the scruff of his neck. Johnson plays it five metres out and Tuivasa-Sheck goes for a long pass inside. It doesn't make the distance and the Kiwis knock it on.

Four minutes left and the Kangaroos have had the better of this second half but it won't be enough. Australia trails by 14 points and both sides are playing like they know it's all over now.

The old 'don't argue' from Jesse Bromwich.

74 mins Greg Bird on report for a dangerous tackle. Bird lifts Nightingale up and it's well above the horizontal. Clearly a report. Brain fart from Bird.

73 mins Luke Lewis has a try...or not! Thurston with a beautiful pass to Lewis who crosses in the right corner. The half back just sees things others don't. Unfrotunately the referee saw that the ball travelled forward. Correct call but very, very close one. Kiwis scrum 10 metres out.

70 mins Some more superb defence from the Kiwis, forcing a knock on from Michael Jennings. Corey Parker has a break and flicks it to Cam Smith, who passes it out to Michael Jennings. Shaun Johnson is there to greet him on the left side and forces the knock on. New Zealand scrum.

69 mins Ouch. That universal groan can only mean one thing. Greg Eastwood tackles Josh Dugan exactly where it hurts the most and Dugan goes over the top of the new Zealander. He is still in a lot of pain and is being checked out for a leg injury. That was a massive hit from Eastwood. No malice in that. The Kiwi forward being checked for concussion as well.
