DOWNER TEST MATCH — Australia 16 def. New Zealand 0
Wests Tigers Players Involved: Nil
The Holden Kangaroos ended their three-game losing run by keeping a terribly flat New Zealand outfit scoreless in their 16-0 win at Hunter Stadium on Friday evening. First half tries to outside backs Darius Boyd and Greg Inglis proved enough to secure a Kangaroos win against an otherwise rudderless New Zealand outfit, which failed to score a single point in the end.
