Australia won a nail-biting final Bledisloe Cup Test in Hong Kong 26-24 with the last kick of the game yesterday to end a 10-game losing streak against the All Blacks. Australia were trailing until the final seconds and facing a 4-0 series whitewash until man of the moment James O’Connor converted his own injury-time try to secure the win for the Wallabies. A win in only the third trans-Tasman Test on neutral soil marks a huge boost for Australia as both sides embark on end-of-season European tours.
