A week after its stinging defeat against the Kiwis (5-43) in Sydney, Australia raised its head by winning with a short header (24-22) at Suncorp Stadium (Brisbane).
The Wallabies scored at the end of the match the try for victory Tupou (73rd) to take cover on the scoreboard despite the attempt to reduce the score just before the final whistle (Vaa'i , 77th).
Previously, Wright (2nd) had flattened for Australia and Ioane had responded from the 8th minute of play (8-8 at halftime).
The meeting took place largely at 14 against 14 after the expulsions of Tu'ungafas (22nd) on the New Zealand side and Swinton (34th) in the Australian camp.
