Lesson learned for Latrell; selection headache that won't go away — Kangaroos Ratings.

Only came on in the 55th minute and got put on his back seat on his first hit up but moments later he put a hit on Joey Manu that forced a knock on. Some effort runs out of his own half and went about his usual work without making any mistakes. Then gave away a penalty on the very next set for a two-man strip. But made up for in the 54th minute with a hard run from 10 metres out off a tap penalty to break through three defenders and score the go-ahead try. Knocked on early in the second half just five metres from the New Zealand line and gave away a silly penalty early in the second half after igniting a melee by sticking up for Nathan Cleary who was taunted for knocking on. Yeo didn’t link with the backline in his usually effortless manner but tackled his heart out to finish with 20 in the first half alone and finished with 35. The man-of-the-match made 35 tackles in the first half and ran hard all night with 75 metres from eight carries. RCG returned and was tasked with leading the Kangaroos pack but had a quiet first half and then only came on in the second stanza for the final 10 minutes. Made a tackle in the 64th minute that forced a crucial knock on and made 20 tackles. Hunt went for a 40-20 in the eighth minute and the ball went 10 metres out on the full, but he saved the day on the next set by defusing a grubber centimetres off his own line. Knocked on early in the second half with Australia on the attack and failed to leave his mark on the game, made 25 tackles and missed five. Threw a nice cut-out in the first half for Val Holmes to break down the right wing and nailed his first sideline conversion but missed the second.

Jordan Rapana has potted an easy penalty goal from next to the posts after Australia was penalised when James Tedesco fumbled a grubber kick and Cameron Munster ...

And replays show he jumped from outside of the field of play after jostling with Josh Addo-Carr for position, and the ball was placed on the touch in goal line regardless. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad set up the raid with a huge break down the left, and on a subsequent play its spun to the right for Jahrome Hughes to dink a kick through for Peta Hiku on the wing. Australia finished much the better in the second half after New Zealand dominated the first stanza. The Kangaroos will play the winner of the second semi-final between England and Samoa. The World Cup holders are into the final at Old Trafford after scraping past world No.1 New Zealand 16-14 at Elland Road. But Peta Hiku’s effort was ruled out as he jumped from outside the field of play and then grounded the ball on the line.
