A second-half try from Cameron Murray was enough to book holders Australia a spot in the Rugby League World Cup final after a thrilling 16-14 victory over New Zealand on Friday. The pendulum swung this way and that in an enthralling first half in Leeds, with two tries from Jahrome Hughes and Dylan Brown, either side of a stunning effort from Australia’s in-form Josh Addo-Carr, giving the Kiwis a 14-10 lead at the break.
