Hodge opens Wallabies account with epic 80m intercept
Wallabies winger Reece Hodge has opened the account for Australia with a stunning 80 metre intercept against the Kiwis.
Hodge capitalised off an errant pass from All Blacks back Lima Sopoaga to race away and score against the early run of play.
TRY to Reece Hodge!! The kick is good and our #Wallabies take the lead 7-0 here at #AUSvNZL. How good!!

The try was converted by Bernard Foley but New Zealand quickly hit back through big winger Waisake Naholo.
Late in the first half, Israel Folau got the Wallabies back into it with this awesome try.
