    Australia 10-7 Wales

    Australia win yet another penalty at the breakdown.

    Their back-row is just devastating in the tackle.

    That has been the biggest reason why Wales have strugled to get any momentum.

    Here comes the Australian bomb squad.

    Watch out for tight-head prop Eva Karpani - she was last week's player of the match.

    She is a bulldozer, you ain’t stopping her when she gets a sniff of the try line.

    And again the Welsh defence comes up trumps.

    Alex Callender with a crucial tackle and Elinor Snowsill quickly onto the lose ball.

    Australia have an attacking lineout inside the Welsh 22.

    Could they make it count this time?

    Australia 10-7 Wales

    Wales change their scrum-half, Keira Bevan, the hero against Scotland is on.

    Australia change both props by bringing on Emily Robinson and Eva Karpani.

    Really good defence and really good patience, I'm sure Australia wish they went for the kick now.

    Australia 10-7 Wales

    Was Iliseva Batibasaga right to turn down an easy kick?

    Australia were within sniffing distance of the Welsh line but flanker Alex Callender and prop Cara Hope did brilliantly to hold up Hamilton over the line.

    Wales have done brilliantly there to keep Australia out.

    They turn down the kick at goal - they want more!

    Australia's forward are gathering momentum with one charge after another.

    The pressure finally tells and they have a penalty in front of the posts.

    It's good to see Wales with a couple more phases in attack and they are actually quite direct in their running midfield.

    Australia 10-7 Wales

    Lisa Neuman was isolated then and Australia pinch the ball on the ground.

    Good defence - but Wales need to be more creative in attack.

    Carys Hale took a knock there.

    The wind is against Wales now so I would expect to see a lot less kicking this half.

    Jaz Joyce looking for space as Wales look to go through the phases.

    This is better.

    That's a lovely sight for Wales - solid scrum allowing Sioned Harries to have yet another carry.

    She's made more than 50 metres already this game.

    Australia 10-7 Wales

    The Welsh centre partnership of Hannah Jones and Carys Williams-Morris really does look powerful - both in defence and attack.
