00:00 Now get a chance to leave his country.
00:04 Getting the back line in motion. The All-Star stretching the legs. Good.
00:16 Immediately outside, that one's ripped away. He's play on. And here goes Hartman.
00:21 In fact that's Rex Bassingwaite and he won't be stopped. And Bassingwaite, he's been
00:26 electric all season and you can see why. And Rex has further onslaught against the
00:36 All-Stars. Great bit of play there. We see the replay. The All-Stars had good
00:41 motion. It was Hartman who ripped it away. It was the 15. Bassingwaite was there to
00:46 swoop on it and just watch him go. You won't get near him. The man from Dubbo.
00:54 Australia tap and go quickly. Here goes Mackay out to Bassingwaite. Bassingwaite
01:05 with his left foot, right foot and Rex. Goes straight across the line for try
01:12 number two for Bassingwaite. And Australia, they strike first in this
01:17 second half. It was all too easy. Mackay just gave Bassingwaite time and space to
01:25 do what he does best. Left foot, right foot. Left two Pacific All-Stars players
01:33 on the ground. Huahulu now sends it downtown and finds a line. And what a way
01:44 to finish from the All-Stars. And what's been a tremendous battle for the full
01:50 70 minutes. But is Australia too good in the end? Full-time score 34 points to 12.
