Wales clung on to beat Australia in an instant Rugby World Cup classic.
Wales made a dream start and were ahead after just 36 seconds. The Welsh pack secured quality possession inside Australia's 22, and fly-half Dan Biggar dropped a goal to open Wales' account.
Australia's defence came under considerable pressure, and Wales increased their lead through a 13th-minute try. Biggar was the architect, kicking to the wing, and centre Hadleigh Parkes climbed above Wallabies wing Marika Koroibete, before spinning and touching down. Gareth Davies then intercepted the ball just before half-time to add to the Welsh lead.
But Australia then hit back following a flowing long-range move that ended with full-back Dane Haylett-Petty crossing for a try that substitute Matt Toomua converted, making it 26-15. And a try from the outstanding Michael Hooper further narrowed the score.
But the Welsh were able to hold out to record a historic victory over their Rugby World Cup bogey team. Here is how we rated the two teams.
