High hopes for NZ rugby league after win over Australia

From Morning Report, 7:55 am on 15 October 2018

New Zealand rugby league fans hope a new era of success has begun for the Kiwis after their unexpected win over Australia in Auckland on Saturday night. Not only did the Kiwis break a 5-match losing streak against the world champion Kangaroos - but the two newest faces in the team played starring roles in the 2-point victory. Our sports reporter Clay Wilson was at Mount Smart stadium for the game. He says moments like this one gave the small North Island communities of Tokoroa and Waiheke Island plenty to celebrate.
