Australia earned the bonus point — awarded when a team scores four or more tries in a match — just nine minutes later when Stirling Mortlock touched down. “After the first 10 minutes, we knew it was going to be a hard day at the office,” van Lill remembered. At half-time, Australia had scored 69 points. After 53 minutes, the century had been reached.
