The ACT Brumbies winger scored a try with his first touch of the ball on debut in a thrilling Bledisloe Cup win over the All Blacks in Brisbane on Saturday.

A pinpoint Reece Hodge kick under pressure was regathered by fullback Tom Banks who then flicked the ball to his club teammate to score inside the first three minutes.

The Wallabies would go on to record a stirring two-point victory to mark James Slipper's 100^th Test in style.

Now Wright finds himself in the box seat to maintain his place on the wing when the Wallabies continue their Tri-Nations campaign against Argentina in a fortnight.

MORE RUGBY UNION

Marika Koirobete is setting the benchmark for Wallabies wingers with Wright firming to maintain his place on the other flank after an impressive debut, with Filipo Daugunu making way.

"Unbelievable mate, obviously that's pretty much what dreams are made of," Wright said of his try on debut.

"It goes through your head at stages, how you're going to get involved or what your first touch might look like. When it gets put on a platter for you like that, it doesn't get much better.

"This is the pinnacle of sport, representing your country is extremely special for me. On a night where one of the greats in my opinion, and one of my good mates who I've got to know at the Brumbies over the past couple of years, being able to celebrate such a momentous night back at home obviously for Slip.

"Obviously there were a number of reasons for us to get up this week considering last week's poor performance.

"Putting all things aside, we did some good things and I'm just so pleased to win for someone like Slips."

Yet Slipper couldn't help but shake his head as he joined Wright to front the media in the aftermath of his 100^th game.

"I can't get over how you scored on debut, it took me 94 games," Slipper said.

The win over the All Blacks came when the series was already beyond the host nation, whose Bledisloe Cup drought will stretch into a 19^th year.

But it was just the tonic Australian rugby needed just seven days after the Wallabies crashed to a record 43-5 defeat to New Zealand in a game which sparked questions about this being another false dawn for the men in gold.

Wright was among the Wallabies' best in a chaotic affair that saw each side reduced to 14-men following a pair of red cards - one of which was dished out to All Blacks enforcer Ofa Tu'ungafasi for a high shot on the Australian debutant.

But it was Koroibete setting the standard for the hosts and coming up with crucial plays when the game was hanging in the balance.

"He's probably playing a little better than 'well', he's the benchmark," Wright said.

"He leaves no stone unturned, you see that in the way he prepares each week and the way he trains. You won't find many blokes who train harder, or work harder than him.

"He is definitely someone, if you're looking for someone to watch at training, you're not looking too far when you cross him. To be able to play alongside him was extremely special.

"The game probably doesn't go down in those dying minutes like it did, when he comes up with that big play, the tackle, forcing an error, then we kick it out and win. That was unbelievable."

The All Blacks will look to edge closer to winning the Tri-Nations when they meet Argentina at Western Sydney Stadium on Saturday.

It is the first of four consecutive matches for the Pumas, who will then meet Australia in Newcastle on November 21.
