It was a successful weekend for NZ teams in rugby internationals overseas, with the Rugby League Kiwis defeating Australia in the Four Nations Final at Brisbane by 16-12 with a last-minute Nathan Fien try, made by Benji Marshall. It was a classic, tight, no-quarter-asked-or-given test match that went to the wire, before Fien crossed to give the Kiwis a famous victory over the Kangaroos.
Meanwhile at Murrayfield, the All Blacks made easier work of their Scottish opponents in the second leg of their Grand Slam tour of Great Britain. Having defeated England 26-16 at Twickenham a week ago in a patchy performance, Richie McCaw's men ran in seven tries in a 49-3 rout.
For Captain McCaw and Mils Mulaiana it was a record 92nd international cap, equalling the record held by Sean Fitzpatrick.
