FULL TIME: A brain fart from Ali Brigginshaw to kick upfield with no chasers and Apii Nicholls takes the ball out and NZ pick up their first win over Australia since 2016; 12-6 the final score

KIWI FERNS BACK IN THE LEAD - The question is are they going to hold onto it this time as some great work from Apii Nicholls to get to the line before a great pass out to Tufuga to score in the corner

Another attacking set for the Kiwi ferns as the cross-field kick is last touched by Jaimie Chapman before going into touch

That was dumb... it was going to be a certain repeat set for the Kiwi Ferns but for some reason Leianne Tufuga strips the ball out of Whitfield's hands and it goes dead. So instead of a dropout it's a Jillaroos 20m restart

PENALTY NZ: Kezie Apps unlucky as she makes an important tackle at the back but makes contact with the head of Mele Hufanga

Apii Nicholls on the spot to clean up as Ali Brigginshaw kicks it through... well attempting to kick it through the line but can't

More great defence from the Kiwi Ferns to stop Jakiya Whitfield but we are at the bunker to make sure she is held up

The Kiwi Ferns survive again as the Jillaroos can't penetrate the line and the Jillaroos got called offside on the last tackle kick

The Aussies again force a dropout this time off the boot of Tarryn Aiken

The Kiwi Ferns defence stands tall again as the Jillaroos again try to go at the line

Apii Nicholls cleans up at the back but the Aussies get a repeat set

OVERTURNED: Kiwi Ferns have the try disallowed for an obstruction on Ali Brigginshaw who made the tackle anyway... But we're back level

PENALTY NZ: The Jillaroos kick chasers offside and it's now a 3-0 count to the visitors

SECOND HALF IS GO! The Jillaroos start with the ball

The Kiwi Ferns have only had 7 tackles in the Aussie half and a rare attacking opportunity goes into touch

Shanice Parker stands on the ground to catch the kick but Jaime Chapman flies there to get it first in the air but can't hold onto the steeden

Kiwi Ferns loses the ball again in their own end and come under pressure again

NO TRY - Liam Kennedy overturns the live decision as Tamika Upton loses the ball into Apii Nicholls

Last tackle and the NZ defence on it's heels as the Jillaroos run it on the last and Kernick's dummy fools the defence and Upton gets, struggles to control it but I think she's lost it, Belinda Sharpe gave the try originally

Under pressure Apii Nicholls takes a good catch in-goal to give the Kiwi Ferns a much needed free trip to the 20

An error in good attacking position from the Kiwi Ferns and the Jillaroos defence survives

40/30 Raecene McGregor nails the 40/30 kick to turn the momentum around

GAME ON! Belinda Sharpe has control in Melbourne
