Kangaroos shut out Kiwis in Christchurch

Kanggaroos v Kiwis 2024 news

Australia secured a hard-fought 10-22 win over New Zealand in the Pacific Championships, propelled by Dylan Edwards’ standout performance and solid defense.

The Kangaroos, led by coach Mal Meninga, chose Edwards over former captain James Tedesco, a bold decision that paid off as Edwards’ play at fullback proved critical.

Despite missing several stars, both teams showed impressive depth, with Edwards’ strategic breaks and defensive saves proving decisive during intense moments, including a key save amid a Kiwi onslaught.

The Kangaroos maintained their lead through defensive resilience, allowing Australia to advance to the tournament final.

New Zealand, now under coach Stacey Jones, debuted young talents like Keano Kini, who impressed with his dynamic play, recording the game-high running meters.

Despite a few defensive missteps, Kini and other newcomers showcased promise, with Kini linking effectively with veteran Shaun Johnson.

While the Kiwis held more possession, Australia’s defense, particularly in a second-half stretch, ultimately won the game.
