Rugby world erupts over Wallaby centre's Jonah Lomu moment

Samu Kerevi has left rugby fans in a frenzy after an incredible Bledisloe Cup moment that brought back memories of All Blacks legend, Jonah Lomu.

The Wallabies stunned the All Blacks with a record 47-26 win in Perth but say all it means is they now have a chance to win back the Bledisloe Cup.

The win opens the door for the Australians to bring home the Bledisloe Cup after 17 years away, but to do so they must crack their first win in Auckland since 1986.

The Aussies benefited from a controversial All Blacks red card but the home side made their own fortune, with Kerevi's bulldozing run undoubtedly one of the game's most memorable moments.

Lomu's try for the All Blacks against England at the 1995 World Cup when he ran over the top of fullback Mike Catt has become the stuff of legend.

On Saturday night, Wallabies star Kerevi created his own legend, with a scintillating play to set up a try for Nic White.

The barnstorming Wallabies centre was put in space down the left touch line, showing incredible speed to burn one would-be tackler before Beauden Barrett came across in cover for the All Blacks.

Kerevi sized the Kiwi fullback up and did exactly what Lomu had 24 years earlier, by using his as a human speed bump.

The incredible play had commentators in raptures and fans left to make inevitable comparisons to All Blacks legend, Lomu.

Eden Park fortress awaits Wallabies

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika admits the job is only half done, with a daunting match against the Kiwis at Auckland's Eden Park still to come for the Aussies.

"We are all pumped but all we've done is bought ourselves a ticket to Auckland, that's it," Cheika said.

"It's a great atmosphere and great for the players to get the win but in the bigger scheme of things that's what we've got ourselves - a ticket to go there and take the opportunity that we're going to get given there."

The Australians were given little chance of knocking off their arch-rivals, but delivered their best performance in years to make a statement with the World Cup starting next month.

"A few things went our way but I was really pleased for the lads," Cheika said.

"They've been working hard so it was a nice little reward for them."

The All Blacks were forced to play the entire second half with 14 men after lock Scott Barrett was sent off in the 40th minute by French referee Jerome Garces for making contact with the head of Wallabies skipper Michael Hooper with his elbow and shoulder.

While it was a tough call, Australia already had their tails up with a dominant first half and took a 16-12 lead into the break.

Cheika said the fact that they faced an undermanned All Blacks didn't take any gloss off the win.

"Not a chance," he said.

"When they've got 15 on the field it feels like 20 so when they've got 14 it still feels like 17 or 18 as they have so many threats.

"It's not like they weren't scoring tries."

It was difficult to pick the Wallabies' best with Hooper everywhere, halfback Nic White a handful , Reece Hodge scoring a double and the entire forward pack deserving a pat on the back.

James O'Connor, starting his first match in six years, also booked his ticket to Japan as he set up a try and gave the attack plenty of options.

The Wallabies extended the margin to 26-12 early in the second half with giant flanker Lukhan Salakaia-Loto scoring before Kerevi set up the second.

Barrett exacted some revenge six minutes later when he darted through some flimsy Wallabies defence, with the conversion closing the gap to seven points.

But that was as close as the undermanned Kiwis could get as the scoreboard ticked over for Australia.

Fullback Kurtley Beale iced the win with their sixth try in the 80th minute to allow the celebrations to begin.

In an extra sweetener, the All Blacks could surrender their world No.1 ranking to Wales for the first time since 2009 should the Welsh beat England later this weekend.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said his team were their own worst enemy, lamenting their poor discipline.

"I'm disappointed but Australia deserved the win as they were the best side on the day," Hansen said.

"The red card didn't help us but we didn't help ourselves either. "Our discipline was poor early in that first half and we missed 20 tackles out of 90 in the first half.

"So they're all things we've got to fix up."
