Deflated though not disgraced - an under strength Kiwis rugby league team at least emerged from last night's agonising Anzac test loss to Australia with their dignity intact.

Routinely flogged in the one-off Test since its inception in 1997, a seriously weakened Kiwis side bucked the alarming trend to remain competitive throughout their 12-8 defeat on a slippery AAMI Park.

Although the Kiwis were unable to add to their solitary Anzac international triumph in 1998, the Kangaroos victory margin was their narrowest in the mid-season international since a six-point win at Sydney in 1999.

Despite losing the core of their first choice forward pack to injury - and fielding a one-Test rookie in the halves - the Kiwis made the Kangaroos slog hard for a win which christens Melbourne's latest sporting arena.

Two tries to prolific wing Brett Morris - and Jamie Lyon's two goals from three attempts - were sufficient to condemn the Kiwis to a ninth consecutive Anzac Test defeat.

Held scoreless until the 68th minute, tries to Kiwis backs Jason Nightingale and Junior Sau deep into the second half ensured the Kangaroos experienced an edgy final quarter - though their composure ultimately enabled Australia to prolong their ownership of the Bill Kelly trophy.

Morris, who now has eight tries in five Tests, was the beneficiary of the Kangaroos uncanny ability to profit from the Kiwis' judgment lapses.

Steve Matai's later clatter on Billy Slater and Ben Matulino's sloppiness after putting a massive hit on Sam Thaiday both attracted penalties that Morris converted into a match-defining lead either side of halftime.

Darren Lockyer conjured up the National Rugby League's leading try scorer in 2010 first four-pointer with a precision grubber kick in the 39th minute.

Then eight minutes after the resumption man-of-the-match Thaiday recovered from a huge collision to hook a miracle ball to Morris a split-second before he took out the corner post.

"You can't expect to win games when you give away soft penalties," lamented Kiwis vice-captain Adam Blair.

"We put in the effort but we weren't good enough in the end."

The Kiwis were at long odds before kick-off given Roy Asotasi, Fuifui Moimoi, Frank Pritchard, Jeremy Smith and Simon Mannering were missing from the pack - and Manu Vatuvei's strike power was absent out wide.

But Blair was impressed with the toil of an inexperienced band that included debutants Zeb Taia, Aaron Heremaia and Sika Manu - who had only played an hour of reserve grade since July before being named on the interchange bench.

"We're short of a few leaders but the young boys put up a fight. We've got a good future here."

The Kiwis actually dominated key facets - they enjoyed more possession, made more line breaks, run metres, completions and fewer errors than the Kangaroos but could not maintain a defensive intensity that limited Australia to a Lyon penalty in the 31st minute until Lockyer's telling intervention as halftime loomed.

"We got through our sets really well, and completed really well," Kearney said.

"We were withstanding the pressure in the first half, it was just disappointing to give up that (first) try."

Considering the quality of personnel ruled out through injury, Kearney and captain Benji Marshall were optimistic ahead of the next trans-Tasman showdown in October's Four Nations tournament.

"I don't think we're that far off to tell you the truth," Marshall said.

"We spoke during the week about competing for the 80 minutes and we did exactly that. At the end of the day goal kicking put them in front."

Kearney felt his newish players all would benefit from the experience, singling out teenaged halfback Kieran Foran.

"There will be a number there that will learn from the experience. "The more he works with Benji and the more experience he gets in that position, the better he's going to be for us," Kearney said.

"He did everything we asked of him. You can't fault his bravery, he's a tough little cookie."

Lockyer directed plenty of traffic Foran's way but the 19-year-old stood up to the test while his kicking game was also useful once inclement weather dictated the game would resemble a grind - not the Australian romp many were anticipating.

Kangaroos coach Tim Sheens admitted he always felt the contest would be tight - and expects a significant improvement from the Kiwis when the teams meet again in Auckland on November 6.

"Everyone's been saying we're going to win by 50 but we knew that wasn't going to be the case," Sheens said.

"They're (Kiwis) definitely getting better all the time and we know that's nowhere near their best side."
