Australian second-row forward Bob Lindner broke his right leg during the second half of the game. Neither English referee John Holdsworth, nor the touch judges, saw Kiwi front rower Peter Brown deliberately knock the ball from Lindner's hands as he was lying on the ground in pain. Despite Lindner lying on the ground crying out in pain, Holdsworth ruled play-on believing the Australian second rower had simply lost the ball. The Kiwis then swept the ball out to the left, where winger Richie Blackmore beat a Dale Shearer tackle to score. Champion pivot Wally Lewis played the last of his 34 tests for Australia as age and injuries were finally catching up with the 31-year-old 1986 Kangaroos captain, though he went close to scoring in the second half but was held up over the line by a desperate Gary Freeman. It was also the last of 19 tests for veteran Aussie prop forward Steve Roach, while fullback Paul Hauff played his only test match after the Kiwis exposed the tall fullback's problem handling balls around his feet with constant grubber kicks on the greasy surface. The Kiwis' game plan was to avoid using the bomb as Hauff and wingers Dale Shearer and Andrew Ettingshausen (also noted fullbacks) were considered safe under the high ball, and it worked to perfection. On debut, Canberra and Queensland hooker Steve Walters was one of Australia's best in a losing side, scoring his team's only try with a determined drive from dummy half midway through the first half. Lewis, Hauff and 16-test veteran Dale Shearer were widely touted never to play for Australia again after poor performances. Shearer missed two tackles on Kiwi winger Richie Blackmore in the second half; the first allowed him to make a 30-metre break down the touchline before passing to Man of the match Jarrod McCracken who dived over for the Kiwis' first try despite a last-ditch tackle from Ettingshausen who had raced across from the far wing. Later Shearer failed to stop Blackmore only five metres from his line, letting the winger in for New Zealand's second try. Shearer had also bombed a try early in the first half: after receiving a pass from Meninga and making a break down the left wing he chip kicked but dropped over Frano Botica but the ball was over the line as he attempted to catch it. The opening tackle of the game saw an accidental head clash between Steve Roach and Kiwi second rower Dean Lonergan which left Lonergan convulsing on the ground (he would recover and finish the game) while Roach received a cut which needed eight stitches.[3] Both captains, first Gary Freeman and then Mal Meninga, were sent to the sin-bin in the second half by English referee Holdsworth.
