Australia ended New Zealand’s 16-match winning streak with an 18-all draw at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Saturday.
Though honors were shared by the trans-Tasman rivals, Australia will treat this result as a mental victory seeing that Robbie Deans’ troops weren’t given a chance of matching the All Blacks prior to kick-off.
In a match decided exclusively by penalties, Kurtley Beale and Mike Harris combined for 18 points for Australia, while Daniel Carter slotted six penalties for the All Blacks.
