Australia play-on quickly from the penalty and Koroibete has space to hit the line at pace on the left wing. New Zealand force the turnover though, and from deep in their own half the All Blacks go through their backs from right wing to left, Ioane eventually piercing the defensive line before heading back infield for some precise catch-pass at pace to allow Retallick the simple task of diving under the posts. Thrilling, daring, high quality running rugby. Wonderful.
Mo’unga can’t miss from under the bar.
22 mins: New Zealand are soon back in possession but their attacking phase lacks cohesion and it’s little surprise when Reece knocks-on. McKenzie and Lolelsio then engage in a kicking diuel which ends when Mo’unga elects to run. The first phase is thrown wide to the right but Havili can’t hold onto a high pass – and he is wiped out by Koroibete! That was a huge hit, deemed legal despite Havili not having possession. The All Blacks reload but can only reach halfway before the turnover.
