New Zealand beat Australia in Rugby League World Cup final
AFP - 2 hours 26 minutes ago
BRISBANE, Australia (AFP) - - New Zealand upset Australia 34-20 to win the rugby league World Cup final at Lang Park here on Saturday.
In one of the biggest boilovers in the 51 years of the World Cup, the Kiwis stunned the Kangaroos, coming from 16-12 down at halftime to outscore the hot favourites 22-4 in the second half.
It was New Zealand's first World Cup triumph and it was a massive turnaround after the Kiwis were outclassed 30-6 in their opening game of the tournament against the Kangaroos on October 26.
The Australians were considered unbackable favourites after amassing 180 points and conceding just 16 from their four one-sided preliminary victories to reach the final.
New Zealand had never beaten the Australians in 13 previous World Cup matches since 1954, including two finals in 1988 and 2000, while the Kangaroos were chasing their 10th Cup title.
