Foster's Late Field Goal Helps Tip Tight Clash In Kangaroos' Fortunes

Kangaroos produced a late surge to continue their rise back up the Group Nine ladder.

With scores level with just over three minutes remaining at Anzac Park on Saturday, Zeik Foster slotted a field goal to put the Wagga side back in front.

For good measure Ollie Hoskin then crashed over to sink Gundagai.

The 23-16 victory ensures Kangaroos extend their winning run, leapfrogging the Tigers to move into third in the process.

Kangaroos took advantage of a crucial period when Hoskin was sin binned for a professional foul.

Despite going short handed midway through the second half it was Kangaroos who were able to put points on the board when Ned Cooper slammed the ball down over the tryline with 16 minutes to play.

Sidelined captain-coach Nathan Rose thought it was an important boost for the side after finding themselves in a real arm wrestle.

"It's always a bonus to score when you're a man down and it's credit to the boys and the character they've been showing," Rose said.
