Quick Try Blitz Ensures Kangaroos Take Back-to-Back Victories

A three-try blitz midway through the second half set Kangaroos on course for victory.

There was little separating the Wagga side and Tumut for large patches of their clash at Twickenham on Saturday.

However three tries in less than 10 minutes certainly changed that.

After taking almost 30 minutes to open the scoring, Kangaroos took a 4-0 lead into the break.

Their slender margin soon became a big one.

Injured captain-coach Nathan Rose was pleased to see his side power away to a 34-4 victory.

"It was nice to put them away in the second half," Rose said.

"I thought we bombed two try-scoring opportunities there at crucial points of the game so maybe it could have happened earlier.

"That's the way the game panned out but it was nice to come away with the win."

It was a second straight victory for Kangaroos after going winless through the previous five rounds.

James Smart really stood up for Kangaroos, scoring a try and having a big hand in again two when the game was there to be won.
