Kiwis put pride back into the jersey

New Zealand headed into Saturday’s Test on the back of three straight losses stretching back to last year’s horror World Cup campaign where they were eliminated in the quarter-finals.Those games, coupled with the off-field cocaine scandal involving Jesse Bromwich
and Kevin Proctor, left many questioning the team’s culture.But with an injection of youth, the return of Bromwich and Proctor from Test exile and the appointment of Michael Maguire as Kiwis coach, they managed to upset the highly-fancied Kangaroos 26-24.You only had to see the raw emotion from new captain Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and rookies Brandon Smith and Joseph Manu to know that the team have turned a corner.
