Mike Henson and James Standley

  2. A good early take under the high ball from Mike Brown for England, but England squander possession with an over-hit up and under from Farrell which Julian Savea claims under no pressure, calling the mark.

  4. Jonathan Davies
    Former Wales fly-half on BBC One

    "On the front foot, the dummy and show-and-go from Webb and he's over the whitewash at the first attempt.

    "Great, great start for Wales.

    "A good call from the referee as well on the [Biggar] forward pass, which wasn't."

  5. KICK-OFF

    Owen Farrell boots long, Israel Dagg gathers cleanly and we are under way.

  6. BBC Radio 5 live

    Former Ireland and British Lions hooker Keith Wood on BBC Radio 5 live: "At times I think the haka is used too much as a marketing tool. It was great when we were growing up and you would only see it every three or four years in the flesh. Now though we see it 14 or 15 times a year, it is part of the showcase and I am not so keen on it."

  7. Owen Farrell was stony-faced, staring straight back at the haka and though his opposite man Aaron Cruden.

    It is go time.

  8. TRY (Webb, con Halfpenny)

    Huge roar as George North hammers on with his first touch, Leigh Halfpenny takes a delightful pass from Dan Biggar and feeds Sam Warburton who makes 30m, and then it's the Rhys Webb Show.

    The scrum-half looks up outside the 22 and hints at spreading the all wide, but instead he snipes round the fringes and scoots clear to score - classic scrum-half try that.

    Leigh Halfpenny pops over the conversion, and the hosts are looking good.

  9. Time for the haka... and a sizeable portion of the Twickenham crowd are whistling the war dance! And now choruses of Swing Low...

    It is going to a feisty first five.

  10. Jonathan Davies
    Former Wales fly-half on BBC One

    "That'll be a huge relief for Alex Cuthbert as you've got to take those kick-offs.

    "Great patience in the Wales defence and Warburton wins the penalty."

  11. Poor start from Wales as Alex Cuthbert drops the kick off and here come the Wallabies...

    ...but captain Sam Warburton gets over the ball at a ruck and wins the penalty as Australia hold on. Welcome back to Test rugby Sam!

  12. National anthems pre-matchGetty Images

    Now, God Save the Queen. Chris Robshaw's other half Camilla Kerslake has been usurped on singing duties by one Laura Wright.

    If you are going out with the captain and you don't get the gig you have to ask questions don't you?

  13. Wales may have lost nine in a row against the Wallabies, but they are not without attacking threat.

    Jamie Roberts and George North - fresh from running in four tries against his compatriots from Ospreys a couple of weeks ago - form a huge centre partnership.

    Rhys Webb and Dan Biggar are the half-backs and the fit-again Leigh Halfpenny will punish any Australia indiscipline with his unerring boot.

  15. Prince Harry in the posh seats, a group of Chelsea pensioners in the stalls and Semesa Rokoduguni on the pitch. As you might expect, an impeccably observed and poignant minute's silence at Twickenham.

    Now, anthems. God Defend New Zealand is first up, with a black-clad soprano on the mic.

  16. Get involved

    Olivia Jade Hughes: Rugby time, come on Wales!! CYMRU CYMRU CYMRU #WalesvAustralia #comonwales #CymruAmByth

  17. The pyro pops into the sky as Chris Robshaw bounds out to wild cheers.

    The two teams come together for a minute's silence, just as they have in Wales.

  18. The Last Post echoes around the Millennium Stadium on Remembrance weekend.

    A moment of silence follows.

  19. Richie McCaw jogs out with his team twitching and popping behind him.

    The Twickenham crowd afford them a polite welcome of applause. You don't want to give these boys any more motivation.

  20. Wales coach Warren Gatland speaking on BBC One on the importance of a win against Australia: "It's part of the psychology we're employing for the next 12 months.

    "A win's not the be all and end all, but it would be a massive boost for us.

    "Our rationale is about the long-term. There's no point in having a good autumn and then not getting through our World Cup group."
