Carter kicked New Zealand out of sight with two more penalties, but it looked as though they would miss out on a scoring bonus point until Nonu’s injury time sprint to the corner, the video referee giving the nod for his team’s fourth try.

The defeat means the Wallabies increased their losing sequence in away Tri-Nations Tests to 14, with their last win on the road coming in New Zealand in 2001.
