    You couldn't cut the tension in this stadium with a knife.

    There is so much at stake for both sides.

    Oh that was close.

    Australia flanker Emily Chancellor telegraphed Snowsill's pass really well but knocked on with a clear field in front of her.

    Sisilia Tuipulotu also showed great hands there to gather a lose pass from Jasmine Joyce.

    Elinor Snowsill kicks ahead and it's well-chased by Carys Williams-Morris.

    Wales are starting to pin back Australia.

    Decent line-out drive by Wales with Sisilia Tuipulotu at the forefront.

    Finally back in Australia's half.

    Wales are pretty lucky with the score line at the moment.

    Another break in play and there's plenty of talk on both sides with this game so finely balance and so much at stake.

    A little bit frustrating from Wales there, they don't like they are clicking in attack at the moment.

    There are no real different angles of running or different lines of running it just looks quite lateral.

    That last passage sums up the game so far.

    Gwen Crabb is penalised for holding onto the ball amid terrific pressure at the breakdown by Australia.

    But the Wallaroos squander the chance.

    Welcome to the game Kerin Lake.

    She's only just come onto the pitch and is knocked straight onto her backside by two Wallaroos! Ouch.

    Another penalty conceded by Wales is just inviting more Australia pressure.

    Thankfully Jasmine Joyce comes up with a huge hit on Bienne Terita.

    There may be a huge size difference but the little Welsh wing is a terrier in defence.

    At the moment Wales are soaking up the tackles, which just gives Australia that go forward momentum and Wales are almost back pedalling in defence.

    Oh that's unlucky. Keira Bevan looked like she had sent Wales 40 metres up field but her kick was judged to have gone out on the full - by inches.

    Australia make three changes with Kaitlan Leaney, Piper Duck and Pauline Piliae-Rasabale all on.

    As soon as that scrum starts failing it puts everything on the back foot, that is definitely something they want to fix as soon a possible.

    It can't be a coincidence that we're now having a series of re-sets at the scrum with two entirely new front-rows.

    The impact off the bench has been massive so far.

    There's a short break in play and both coaches will be getting their messages onto the field for what is looking like a nail-biting final quarter.

    However Wallaroos captain Shannon Parry looked like she was doing most of the coaching judging by the hand gestures!

    Because Wales aren't having that much opportunity to attack, there is so much pressure on every attack so the safe option is always to carry.

    I think that is what's going wrong at the moment, they haven't got the confidence to take it out wide early.

    Wales change both props with Caryl Thomas and Sisilia Tuipulotu on for Cara Hope and Cerys Hale.
