Australia were trailing until the final seconds and facing a 4-0 series whitewash until man-of-the-hour James O'Connor converted his own injury-time try to secure the match for the Wallabies.

Tries by Quade Cooper and Adam Ashley-Cooper had put Australia in front but Jimmy Cowan and Corey Jane went over for the All Blacks to hand them a 17-12 lead at the break which was extended by Ma'a Nonu.

But a try by Wallaby winger Drew Mitchell kept Australia in touch before O'Connor's heroics had the Australian contingent in Hong Kong for the match roaring in delight. LINK
