Kangaroos exorcise demons with 22-10 victory in Christchurch, advancing to final in New Zealand.
The Kangaroos took the first step to exorcising the demons of last year's Pacific Championships humiliation with a 22-10 victory over their Trans-Tasman rivals in Christchurch on Sunday.
The clinical display gave Australia their first in New Zealand since 2012 and sends them into the final against either the Kiwis or Tonga on November 10.
On the back of an escort penalty against Matt Timoko in the fourth minute the Kangaroos got across the line through Angus Crichton but replays showed the back-rower had lost control of the ball in the grounding and the try was butchered.
A kick...
