Australia went up early in the second half, before tries to Nathan Cayless and Nigel Vagana put the Kiwis back in the lead. They never
looked back late in the game. Stacey Jones kicked seven goals while Clinton Toopi scored three of the Kiwis' six tries. For Australia

Match Report
Despite an awesome effort the Kiwis failed to clinch back-to-back victories over the Kangaroos, going down 28-26 at a wet and windy
Ericsson Stadium. The Australian victory maintains their resilient 52-year record of never being beaten in consecutive tests by New Zealand.
The Kiwis had a 16-8 halftime lead but Australia scored 3 immediately after halftime to go ahead and hold a margin to the final whistle.
The first 10 miutes were tight and tense till the Kangaroos pounced on a Johns bomb and after a couple of frantic passes Darren Lockyer scored in the left hand corner. The Kiwis hit back with a test debut try to winger Jake Webster in the corner, followed by a brilliant try in the corner to Nigel Vagana. The Kangaroos came back following a couple of penalties and scored a well-worked try in the left corner to test
debutant centre Matt Cooper. Then hooker Motu Tony powered over the line to core followed by Stacey Jones conversion to give the Kiwis a
16-8 lead at halftime.
Classy second half tries to the Kangaroos speedy centre Mark Gasnier, Darren Lockyer, and Cooper's second saw the 8 point halftime
margin spread turn in favour of Australia. Nevertheless the Kiwis finally lifted again with a second try to Jake Webster, but with 10 minutes to
play fullback Anthony Minichiello powered through a couple of tacklers to score. Kiwi iinterchange David Faiumu set up a nail-biting finish
with try from a quick enalty tap right in front of the posts to lock up a 28-26 scoreline.
Kiwis 26 Tries: Jake Webster (2), Nigel Vagana, Motu Tony, David Faiumu. Goals: Stacey Jones (3).

The Kiwis slumped to a 38-12 defeat at the hands of a robust Great Britain side at Huddersfield. Boosted by the chances of making the Tri-series final
the Poms stormed over the Kiwis scoring six tries to three to lead 26-nil at halftime. They tore the Kiwis defence to shreds with four first half tries.

Kiwis crush hapless Kangaroos in a historic victory
Elland Road, Leeds Saturday 26 November 2005 Crowd 26,534
The New Zealand league team won the Tri-Nations tournament after thrashing the hot favourites Australia 24-0 in the final at
Leeds. In the same awesome spirit as the Grand Slamming All Blacks who stormed through the UK undefeated against Wales,
Ireland, England and Scotland under captain Tana Umaga so did the Kiwis outplay and out defend the Aussies under their
captain, man of the match and 50 test hero Rueben Wiki.
The Kiwis victory came from 3 key ares. Rueben's captaincy; he led a massive team effort that defended with pride and
maintained discipline for the full 80 to shut down and restrict the Kangaroo attack right across the field. This was Kiwis
first series win against Australia since 1978 and the first time in 20 years that New Zealand have held Australia scoreless in
a test match. In 1985 at Carlaw Park Auckland, New Zealand beat Australia 18-0.
The second area was the inspiring presence of Stacey Jones, in stark contrast to the Aussies loss of matchwinner
Darren Lockyer and gamebreaker Andrew Johns. Back in England just a day before kickoff following the birth of his son
in NZ, Stacey showed the way forward in attack setting up the big plays that resulted in 3 of their 4 tries. Stacey also
slotted 1 conversion and 3 penalty goals. The third key factor was their pride and self belief - mana, a greater desire to win.
Against an error-riddled Australia the Kiwis ramped up 4 tries, the first to centre Paul Whatuira in the 4th minute off a Stacey
bomb. In the 21st minute rookie Manu Vatuvei outjumped Brent Tate to score his first try off a pinpoint Stacey bomb then
after a Kidwell intercept he finished off a slick passing rush to corner his second try in 26th minute. Stacey posted 2 penalty
goals to put the Kiwis up 16-0 at halftime.
In the second half fullback Brent Webb extended New Zealand's lead to 22 points with a converted try in the 52nd minute
followed by a penalty to Stacey to deliver a crushing 24-0 win over an Aussie team that struggled to counterattack.
The Kangaroos made 20 handling errors and only completed 17 of 32 sets, while New Zealand completed 32 of 43 sets.
While acknowledging that the Kiwis, under coach Brian McClennan, had formulated a simple game plan and executed it almost to perfection, Kangaroo coach Wayne Bennett said his side never had a chance after
completing just 49 per cent of its sets of possession.
In contrast, the Kiwis made just one error in the first half and enjoyed nine more sets of possession.
"We just lacked a lot of discipline with the football and the penalties we gave away in the first half," Bennett said. "Their first three tries came off two penalties from us giving them field position and
a lost ball coming out of our 30-metre zone. We didn't give ourselves a chance, we never put ourselves in the game and they played tremendously well. The disappointing part, I suppose, is that
we just didn't make it a contest, they were in control all game
Louis Anderson, Hape, Asotasi, Kidwell, Faiumu and Motu Tony all had strong games as did the whole team who played for each other. Coach
Brian McLennan the coaching staff and the whole team were estatic about this uplifting joyous victory.

led by Wiki the Kiwis started with an awesome haka
gamebreaker Stacey Jones flew from NZ back to the UK 24 hours before the final. He threaded the nail with 2 bombs that resulted in2 tries in the Kiwis 24-0 upset. Here he gets a kick away from Roo's loose forward Ben Kennedy
second rower David Kidwell had a huge impact on the tight plays in attack & defence. He intercepted from the Kiwis 30 metre line. The attack played field position Stacey shifted it wide then Vatuvei scored in the corner.
Kiwi coach McLennan's gamble on Hape's mobility in the tight plays around the rucks and in defence paid huge dividends.
