 Laurie Daley opened the scoring midway through the first half with a try from his own kick.Near the Great Britain line he chip kicked over Paul Newlove who got a hand to the ball but it deflected up perfectly for the Australian vice-captain who caught the ball and stepped past a wrong footed Gary Connolly and put it down untouched next to the posts.Wishart's easy conversion gave the Australian's a 6–0 lead before a 40-metre Andy Farrell penalty goal saw the score 6–2 before Ricky Stuart slotted a 39th minute field goal to see the Kangaroos go into half time with a 7–2 lead.
