All Blacks snatch victory in last minute

New Zealand snatch a late victory as Malakai Fekitoa scores a last minute try to complete the comeback against Australia.

The All Blacks have snatched victory from the Wallabies in the dying seconds, as a late Malakai Fekitoa try and successful conversion from Colin Slade sealed the win at the Suncorp Stadium.

Australia looked to have won comfortably as they had a sizeable lead with 20 minutes left, with the score at 25-12.

New Zealand's Patrick Tuipulotu received a yellow card for a rash challenge, leaving the All Blacks a man down late on.

However, the resilient comeback was on after two late tries from Aaron Smith and Fekitoa claimed the win in dramatic fashion.

The win was New Zealand's fifth in six games after losing just once to South Africa in their previous fixture.

Australia haven't been as strong however, winning just twice in their last seven games.
