WONDERFUL WALLABIES CONDEMN WALES TO RECORD-BREAKING DEFEAT
Wales suffered their record-breaking 11th successive Test defeat after going down 52-20 against Australia, who scored eight tries in Cardiff.
Tom Wright and Matt Faessler both crossed three times, while Nick Frost and Len Ikitau also went over during a commanding victory for the Wallabies.
Australia quickly established their authority on proceedings with three tries inside the opening 23 minutes.
Wright cleverly danced his way through the defence, and an unchallenged Frost carried the ball half the length of the pitch to the line, while Faessler touched down following a typically strong lineout push.
Wales responded well with Aaron Wainwright swivelling his way over the line, while the right boot of Gareth Anscombe reduced the deficit to 19-13 at the break.
Although Australia were reduced to 14 men early in the second half with Samu Kerevi’s yellow card later upgraded to a red, it was sandwiched by a further two tries from Faessler, who completed his hat-trick.
Wright then grabbed his second try, intercepting Ben Thomas’ offload just outside the Wallabies’ 22 and sprinting unchallenged to the line.
Ben Thomas stopped the rot and gave Wales something to cheer about when he touched down, but Australia had the final word.
Ikitau cleverly wrong-footed Cameron Winnett to go over and, in the dying seconds, a swift turnover and counter allowed Wright to race away and seal his own treble.

80+1'
TRY! WALES 20-52 AUSTRALIA (WRIGHT)
Wright completes his hat-trick!
One final flurry from the Wallabies sees them turn the ball over and quickly break, with the full-back completely free to sprint away and touch down.
Lolesio cannot convert, but it does not really matter in all honesty.
75'
TRY! WALES 20-47 AUSTRALIA (IKITAU)
Another lovely try by the Wallabies!
Strong handling from the visitors gets them up the pitch through several phases.
The last of these sees Ikitau wrong-foot Winnett and go over in the corner.
Lolesio converts via the upright.
69'
TRY! WALES 20-40 AUSTRALIA (BEN THOMAS)
Finally, Wales have something to cheer, as Ben Thomas ends a decent spell of pressure by stretching over the line.
Costelow makes no mistake with the conversion.
65'
UNWANTED HISTORY IN THE MAKING
Unless they scored the equivalent of four converted tries in the final quarter of an hour, this will be an unprecedented 11th straight defeat for Wales.
Can they finish strongly at the very least?
61'
TRY! WALES 13-40 AUSTRALIA (WRIGHT)
Wright gets his second of the game, and it is one of the easiest he will score.
Wales search for a way back into the game, but Ben Thomas' offload is brilliantly read by the Australia full-back, who subsequently runs well over half the length of the field unchallenged to touch down.
Lolesio converts to take the visitors to the 40-point mark.
57'
NO TRY
Wales think they have a route back into the contest, as Botham brilliantly gathers the ball with one hand before crossing.
However, a TMO rules out the try for a forward pass in the build-up.
54'
TRY! WALES 13-33 AUSTRALIA (FAESSLER)
Hat-trick hero!
Once again, Australia are just too powerful for Wales, as Faessler surges past Anscombe and Ben Thomas before reaching for the line.
Lolesio converts and, though a man light, the Wallabies now lead by 20 points.
49'
RED CARD
After further reviews, Kerevi's yellow card is upgraded to a red, citing a high degree of danger with his tackle.
Australia are down to 14 men, and Wales must look to capitalise.
48'
TRY! WALES 13-26 AUSTRALIA (FAESSLER)
The hooker gets his second try of the game!
Australia push from the lineout and get themselves over the line.
Lolesio converts and the Wallabies have a two-score cushion once again.
47'
NO YELLOW CARD
TMO advise the referee to take another look at Bevan's challenge on White.
However, the official opts to award Australia a penalty, but nothing more.
42'
YELLOW CARD
Kerevi is sent to the bin following a head-on-head challenge on Morgan.
The decision is currently under review.
