New Zealand stuns Australia to capture Four Nations
NEW Zealand edged Australia 22-18 to win the Four Nations title in Wellington yesterday in a stunning upset of rugby league’s traditionally dominant world power.
The Kiwis’ took a 14-6 lead into halftime and held on grimly as the Kangaroos mounted a desperate charge at Wellington Regional Stadium which fell agonizingly short when Sione Mata’utia was denied a try that would have levelled the score by a forward pass. Man-of-the-match Shaun Johnson was superb for the Kiwis, scoring a solo try in the 58th minute and setting up another as New Zealand won only its second Four Nations title after claiming it in 2010.
Having beaten Australia 30-12 earlier in the tournament, which also featured England and Samoa, New Zealand also notched only its second consecutive win over Australia in 61 years.
