Wales v Australia match highlights from Rugby World Cup classic

Wales took control of their World Cup destiny with an enthralling 29-25 victory over Australia in Tokyo.

The match highlights show first-half scores from Hadleigh Parkes and Gareth Davies.

Those two tries gave Wales a 23-8 half-time lead and set them on course for a first win over the Wallabies at the World Cup since the inaugural tournament in 1987.

Australia rallied in a second-half completely dominated by the Wallabies, but Warren Gatland's men held on for a historic win.

Elsewhere, Uruguay were unable to pull off another shock as Georgia beat them 33-7.

Alexander Todua and Otari Giorgadze crossed in the first half, with further scores from Levan Chilachava, Jaba Bregvadze and Giorgi Kveseladze ensuring that Uruguay, who shocked Fiji earlier this week, couldn't make it two wins from two.

Their defeat was compounded as Facundo Gattas was sent off with two minutes remaining for a high tackle.
