Australia managed to hold on to a slender lead in the dying minutes of the second-half to win 23-18 despite a frantic onslaught from New Zealand. Here’s how social media reacted.

Delighted for the Wallabies.
Just generally bloody delighted it wasn’t a draw. #YearOfTheDraw #BigDayForKurtley

The SDs hang on and deservedly so. Better ball retention and defence induces a streak of self-destructive ill-discipline from the Kiwis.

NZ outscored 2nd half in 10/79 games since 2012. 5 times this year.
