That's a shame for Wales. Try-scorer Sioned Harries knocks-on under a heavy challenge just as they were getting on the front foot.

Jasmine Joyce probes, Alex Callender takes it on, Cerys Hale carries - this is building for Wales.

Wales on the front foot again.

Australia are trying to basically break down Wales' rucks and it really gives Wales a warning that they need that support in attack.

Wallaroos lock Grace Kemp is just swatting Welsh tacklers aside!

Another strong carry from skipper Jones after the Welsh pack manage to get the team upfield.

Snowsill is gradually shifting Wales up field.

They will have been buoyed by that last defensive stand.

Sioned Harries - try scoring machine.

She is Wales' third all-time leading try-scorer with 28, but there is a long way to go before she catches Non Evans on 37.

Australia will be really annoyed about that.

Referee Sara Cox got in the way of what was pretty much a scoring pass.

It's one of those things... not that Wales will be complaining.

Great last phase in defence, they will be really happy with that.

Wales have done exceptionally well there to keep the Wallaroos out - especially their giant teenage wing Bienne Terita.

But they also have the referee to thank in part.

Australia are deep into Welsh territory and mounting attack after attack. Can Wales hold out?

Oh the referee has just done Wales a huge favour by unintentionally blocking Iliseva Batibasaga's pass with players queuing up outside to score.

Jasmine Joyce snuffs out a kick but Australia were playing advantage from a penalty.

Arabella McKenzie and Grace Hamilton smash into the line. Australia are getting closer.

Wallaroos looking to hit straight back.

Wales need to hold tight.

It's great to see Sioned Harris with the hard carries and I like seeing Jasmine Joyce off the wing adding that extra player in attack.

Interesting.

Wales opt to kick a penalty to the corner rather than the posts.

Gamble.

Wales' set-piece is starting to function.

A good line-out sets up Jasmine Joyce's burst down the left.

The attack eventually stalls but Wales have an advantage.

Unless you get the kicks accurate, you are just giving possession back to Australia.

Oh that's better!

The Welsh scrum has just given the Wallaroos pack a right shove backwards.

Well done Cara Hope, Kelsey Jones and Cerys Hale.
