    Gareth Anscombe

    Carter Gordon hoofs the ball up in the air aimlessly, Australia offside and Gareth Anscombe get another three. We're now starting to look at records tumbling.

    Yes I agree, player of the game is Davies without a doubt, he's got cramp now but I'm not surprised because he's been everywhere.

  3. Gareth Davies 'outstanding'published at 58 mins

    Former Wales fly-half on BBC Radio Wales

    I think Gareth Davies has been outstanding, his kicking game has been brilliant, defensively he's outstanding.

    All wales need to do is play in the right area and put pressure on Australia in their 22.

    Wales 29-6 Australia

    Nick Tompkins and George North combine again in midfield with a deft pass and Josh Adams thought he was clear. But Wayne Barnes' whistle brings them back for a forward pass. But Wales are buzzing.

    Wales fans celebrate another destoyed Aussie scrum with a Mexican wave.

    It's on lap three with no signs of stopping!

    This is a brilliant position to be in, we can't lose this game...okay we can but we shouldn't!

    Wales 29-6 Australia

    Another scrum penalty to Wales and suddenly this is starting to look like a statement from Wales. Australia are falling apart.

  8. Replacementpublished at 54 mins

    Wales 29-6 Australia

    Carter Gordon is drafted on for Donaldson. It was a bright start for the number ten but a few poor decisions have cost his team. Can Gordon save the Wallabies?

    Perfect start exactly what Wales wanted, everything looks really comfortable.

    I don't know where Australia go from here.

    Gareth Anscombe

    High tackle by Samu Kerevi on Nick Topkins. That's the only way he's been able to stop the Saracens centre tonight.

  11. Replacementpublished at 51 mins

    Wales 26-6 Australia

    Rob Leota off replaced by Fraser McReight. He's a handful but surprised we didn't see more of Leota given his size and pace - apart from one burst in the first half.

    Don't say the game is over! I'm getting Deja Vu from Fiji.

    The build up play from Wales was superb, crossing the advantage line time and again and then the little chip kick through.

    Australia are a mess, it's now the time to destroy them.

    Nick Tompkins said in the build-up this week that this was the biggest game of his career so far.

    And now he has a try to remember it by.

    That chase from Tompkins was great to watch, another try and the lead extends.

    They were obviously listening Emyr because Tompkins has just raced onto Gareth Anscombe's delightful chip to score Wales' second try.

    Australia are a mess. Another scrum penalty. This is Wales' chance to turn the screw.

    Australia's lineout goes astray and suddenly their set-piece is wobbling.

    We nearly saw a repeat of Gareth Davies' intercept try against Australia in the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

    He's one of the best in reading those.

    Anscombe is in to his rhythm now, he looks really confident.

    That is two huge moments of physical dominance, what a brilliant way for Wales to start the second-half.
