The Australian Indigenous side won their first All Stars clash 28-24, since 2019, thanks to a Selwyn Cobbo hat-trick and a red-hot performance from Nicho Hynes.
The annual clash, which was played in Rotorua, was launched with passionate challenges which flowed on after kick-off.
The New Zealand Maori in particular delivered a fierce Haka which they probably spent too much time rehearsing, because they lost the game!
