DWZ sizzles as Kangaroos fizzle in Kiwis’ boilover

KIWIS fullback Dallin Watene-Zelezniak produced a brilliant debut as New Zealand skipper to lead his side to a thrilling 26-24 victory over the Kangaroos. The New Zealand captain was everywhere for the hosts, matching Kangaroos’ fullback James Tedesco in a brilliant battle between the two. Latrell Mitchell and clubmate Joseph Manu produced a mesmerising
match up, with the Kiwis debutant getting the better of a fascinating duel. Set up first try with a through the legs miracle ball. Was denied a brilliant try near halftime. Ran for 139 metres and looked dangerous all night.
