Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2742999, member: 1899"] AUSTRALIA 28; WELLINGTON 10 at Wellington Standing in for Australian skipper Wally Lewis, Paul Vautin turned in a magical performance in the unlikely position of five-eighth in Australia’s fourth tour win, a 28-10 result against Wellington. Vautin, playing his first game out of the scrum in many seasons, showed great skills setting up a try for Manly team-mate Dale Shearer off a neatly timed grubber kick and later laid on Shearer’s second try with a fine pass to second-rower Bruce McGuire early in the second half. A team reshuffle was necessary was necessary after the withdrawel of Broncos’ centre Tony Currie through injury and coach Bob Fulton opted to switch Vautin to five-eighth. The Wellington outfit were never within striking distance of the Australians, who scored two tries in first half and three in the second. The try of the match, though, was scored by the locals. It was a tryline to tryline effort started by powerful centre Charlie McAlister and finished by fullback Morvin Edwards one play-the-ball and 100 metres later. Australia 28 (Shearer 2, Hancock, Alexander, O’Connor tries; O’Connor 4 goals) defeated Wellington 10 (Edwards try; Lajpold 3 goals) [/QUOTE]
