Gareth Anscombe was faultless, his control was outstanding, Gareth Davies was a close second having been everywhere on the pitch.

There were a number of contenders for man of the match but you cannot argue with Gareth Anscombe.

Gareth Anscombe speaking on BBC Radio Wales: "I'm absolutely delighted, so relieved.

"We knew Australia were going to be desperate and we knew it was going to take our best performance.

"We wanted to put on a performance that was about the people who have put a lot of work behind us.

"To concede only six points against a strong Wallabies team is just remarkable.

"Dan Biggar means so much to this team he is a real spiritual leader, I knew I had to come on and do my role and that's all I was focused on.

"I've got to give a lot of credit to our boys they were outstanding and I'm just absolutely chuffed for the group."

Wales were almost perfect, Australia can judge themselves and Eddie Jones but Wales played superbly.

Fiji was a good performance but this was extremely good.

Wales captain Jac Morgan on S4C: "It was brilliant to get the win but it's full credit to all the work we've done over the past few months.

"We've played well in the last two games but there were a few things we could improve on and today the discipline was better and we were great.

"We went in at half-time knowing we had more in us, we came out with more confidence and played in the right areas.

"I'm very proud of the boys, we're prepared to go to the well for each other and everyone's prepared so well."

I'm not sure what to say to be honest. I was nervous but fair play to Wales they've swept Australia aside.

Without doubt Wales have played the perfect performance for the circumstances, maybe we didn't get the tries but Wales dominated the game completely.

The scrum was superb, the lineout was superb and Wales played the game in the right places.

Wales scrum-half Gareth Davies on S4C: "We performed really well, we've worked very hard since the Portugal game and fair play to the forwards they performed really well.

"Jac Morgan went through from the line and I was just hoping he'd turn towards me, I always run those lines and he found me.

"Dan Biggar going off was a shame but Gareth Anscombe has been training superbly and I was confident he would step in seamlessly as he did."

Wales were outstanding today, you never know what Australia are going to bring but the performance of the boys today was a long time coming.

It has been building for a long time with the work they've put in.

I know I shouldn't enjoy writing this, but it's Australia's biggest ever World Cup defeat, the first time they've lost two World Cup games in succession in 36 years and it's now looking almost certain it will be the first time they haven't progressed past the pool stage.

Eek.

We'll be continuing our live coverage of this remarkable night in Lyon to bring you all the reaction to a record-breaking win, including Warren Gatland and Eddie Jones' post-match press conferences.

That could be interesting!

I've been really impressed with Anscombe, he comes on in to a pressure cooker situation, he's kicked six out of seven kicks.

A few of our pundits thought it would be Gareth Davies but his half-back partner Gareth Anscombe is deservedly named man of the match.

He stepped into the breach to replace Dan Biggar after just ten minutes and steered Wales to a record win - and 23 points.

Amazing to think he had never scored in the World Cup before tonight!

Well to be fair, who can blame him. I did not speak to a single person who saw this coming this week. A win yes, but 40 points? No-one.

Warren Gatland is smiling like a Cheshire cat on the sidelines, and of course the crowd love it on the big screen.

That's it, all over in Lyon and Wales are into the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup!

What commitment. The game is won but still Jac Morgan gets his body under the thunderous figure of Suliasi Vunivalu to hold him up over the try line.

It was pretty close to being a sell-out crowd, the confirmed attendance here in Lyon this evening is 55,296.

Gareth Anscombe has just missed the chance to set a record for the most points in a World Cup game for a Wales player - he's currently equal with Dan Biggar's 23 points against England in 2015.

Warren Gatland said he full expected Wales to win... guess he was right! Has rarely looked in doubt.
