  1. Wales 13-6 Australia

    Wales are building here... what a time to score this would be.

  2. Outrageous skills

    Wales 13-6 Australia

    What a catch by Josh Adams. He races onto Gareth Anscombe's cross-field kick and catches it one-handed as he tip-toed on the touchline. Amazing.

  3. Wales 13-6 Australia

    BTW, that was Gareth Davies' eighth World Cup try... no one else in the Wales squad has as many. A natural poacher.

    The Aussies are doing their best to get a verse of Waltzing Matilda going, but the Wales fans are having none of it.

  5. Wales 13-6 Australia

    Yes, suddenly Australia are not looking quite so confident spreading the ball wide. Wales happy to pick off each gold jersey and the Wallabies going nowhere fast.

  6. Wales 13-6 Australia

    Emyr Lewis
    Former Wales flanker on BBC Radio Cymru

    Both teams have lost a bit of confidence, scared of spreading the ball wide.

    The kicking hasn't been good so far in this game.

  7. Wales 13-6 Australia

    Nicky Robinson
    Former Wales and Cardiff fly-half on BBC Radio Cymru

    I think Wales' tactic is to hold Australia up in the tackle, going high.

    It slows down the ruck and gives Australia slow ball and again Ben Donaldson doesn't want to kick the ball.

  8. 'Wales look comfortable'

    Josh Navidi

    Wales are looking comfortable defensively.

  9. Wales 13-6 Australia

    That really was a crucial kick for Wales. Australia were building pressure but Wales show a stubborn ability to hold on and are being clinical with their few chances to get points.

  10. Wales 13-6 Australia

    James Hook
    Former Wales fly-half on BBC Radio Wales

    Wales need to keep a bit of ball, make Australia make tackles and they will give penalties away.

  11. Wales 13-6 Australia

    Emyr Lewis
    Former Wales flanker on BBC Radio Cymru

    I don't know how Wales are not getting the calls at the scrum. James Slipper is being destroyed by Gareth Thomas and is folding in because of the pressure.

  12. Penalty - Wales 13-6 Australia

    Gareth Anscombe

    What a few minutes for Wales, from inside their own 22 to another three points on the board.

  13. Wales 10-6 Australia

    Nicky Robinson
    Former Wales and Cardiff fly-half on BBC Radio Cymru

    So unlucky for Wales, Aaron Wainwright was after that kick, if only it had stayed on the field of play.

    Wainwright was quicker than Gareth Davies!

  14. Poor execution from Australia

    Wales 10-6 Australia

    Stirling Mortlock
    Former Australia international on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Why did Australia not take the points from the penalty, they did not even jump at the lineout. Unbelievable.

  15. Wales 10-6 Australia

    Terrible throw by Australia and Jac Morgan punts it up field, the chase is on...

    Oh the ball just bounces out but what a clearance. Morgan could play fly-half!

  16. Wales 10-6 Australia

    Rob Leota bursts down the left flank and Australia back on the front foot.

    Will Rowlands did so well at the breakdown to get his hands on the ball but Gareth Thomas concedes a penalty.

  17. Wales 10-6 Australia

    That's another scrum penalty to Australia. This was an area Wales fancied their chances but they're getting on the wrong side of Wayne Barnes right now.

  18. Wales 10-6 Australia

    It is a ferocious battle at every breakdown with players holding various parts of their aching bodies. Some big hits going in.

  19. Wales 10-6 Australia

    Josh Navidi
    Former Wales and British and Irish Lions back row on BBC Radio Wales

    The driving line is going to be a weapon for us, these penalties are massive and for us it is how we get the momentum back.

  20. Wales 10-6 Australia

    Emyr Lewis
    Former Wales flanker on BBC Radio Cymru

    That was a brilliant driving maul from Wales and it was dragged down deliberately.

    What that does is make the Australian pack stay down in the maul and might open space out wide.
