  1. Wales 13-40 Australia

    Australia might have one eye on their biggest winning margin over Wales in Cardiff.

  2. Wales 13-40 Australia

    James Hook
    Former Wales fly-half on BBC Radio Wales

    It's worrying for Wales, that's three tries they've conceded against 14 men.

    It's just so deflating, Wales were on the attack and the tries they are conceding are just knocking the wind out of their sails.

    It's not great is it?

  3. Replacement: Australia

    Wales 13-40 Australia

    As if things are not bad enough for Wales, Australia are back to full strength as new Australia star Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii comes on in place of red card Samu Kerevi.

  4. Wales 13-40 Australia

    That's three tries and 21 points for Australia while they've been down to 14 men.

    Try: Wales 13-38 Australia

    Tom Wright try, Noah Lolesio con

    The full-back picks off Sam Costelow's pass and it's a free ride all the way up field.

    Wales looked to go down the blind side but Wright read the pass easily and he gets a second try.

    That should be game over.

  6. Wales 13-33 Australia

    Australia gamble by challenging the lineout and Lukhan Salakaia-Loto pinches a Welsh throw just five metres from his own try line.

    Big defensive moment.

  7. Wales 13-33 Australia

    Big scrum Wales by their new front row and they have a penalty deep inside Australia territory.

    They certainly won't kick this one... they need tries.

    The scrum has been a plus today.

  8. Wales 13-33 Australia

    Gareth Rhys Owen
    BBC Radio Wales commentator

    Brilliant play by James Botham, how did he pick that ball up?

    Superb work that his grandfather would have been proud of.

  9. No try

    Wales 13-33 Australia

    James Botham thought he had pulled a try back but Blair Murray's pass is judged forward.

    Oh that was close.

    Botham has switched to number eight with Reffell replacing Wainwright.

  10. Replacements: Wales

    Wales 13-33 Australia

    More changes by Wales as Sam Costelow takes over from Gareth Anscombe and Eddie James replaces his Scarlets teammate Tom Rogers.

    That's a strange one because Rogers has been Wales' best player - and doesn't look too happy about going off.

  11. Wales 13-33 Australia

    Elinor Snowsill
    Former Wales fly-half on BBC Radio Cymru

    We need to see new forwards coming off the bench, they're looking tired.

    We've hardly kept the ball in the last 10 minutes and that's due to our forwards in the rucks.

  12. Replacements: Wales

    Wales 13-33 Australia

    Wales change their entire front row with Ryan Elias, Nicky Smith and Keiron Assiratti all on - as well as flanker Tommy Reffell.

    Too little too late?

  13. Wales 13-33 Australia

    Gareth Rhys Owen
    BBC Radio Wales commentator

    The Joe Schmidt effect is noticeable, the fact that they've simplified the game.

    Yes, they do have strike runners, but more often than not, it's simple pick up and carries and keeping it tight around the fringes.

  14. try

    Converted try: Wales 13-33 Australia

    Matt Faessler try, Noah Lolesio con

    Matt Faessler tryHuw Evans Picture Agency

    The hooker has a hat-trick!

    Wales had to fully commit to stopping the driving lineout but as soon as it halted, Matt Faessler peeled away at the 10-12 channel.

    Ben Thomas almost got under him to save the try but the hooker wasn't to be denied his third.

    What a day for him!

  15. Wales 13-26 Australia

    Emyr Lewis
    Former Wales flanker on BBC Radio Cymru

    If Rhodri Williams is coming on maybe there's still a chance for me. I haven't officially retired yet!

  16. Replacement: Wales

    Wales 13-26 Australia

    What a moment for the perseverance of scrum-half Rhodri Williams who breaks the Welsh record for the longest wait between caps.

    It is more than a decade since he won the last of his three caps against Scotland in 2014.

    Now he's back and beating the previous longest gap between Test appearances, held by Bunner Travers who waited eight years between facing Ireland in 1939 and England in 1949.

    The all-time record is New Zealand's Ned Hughes who had to wait a staggering 13 years, between 1908 to 1921. Now that's patience!

  17. Red card: Samu Kerevi (Australia)

    Wales 13-26 Australia

    As suspected, Samu Kerevi's yellow has been upgraded to a red so Australia will remain at 14 for another 13 minutes or so.

    He can be replaced... but it's the last we'll see of Kerevi on his return to Test rugby.

    Not the best way to celebrate 50 caps.

  18. Wales 13-26 Australia

    Emyr Lewis
    Former Wales flanker on BBC Radio Cymru

    A lack of discipline has cost Wales there.

    The tide has changed now, and Australia know exactly how to win this game.

  19. try

    Converted try: Wales 13-26 Australia

    Matt Faessler try, Noah Lolesio con

    Wow, that's the way to execute a driving maul.

    Australia were so fast that Wales barely had time to set their defence.

    Faessler gets a second.

  20. TMO review

    Wales 13-19 Australia

    James Doleman has been alerted to a potential high tackle by Wales scrum-half Ellis Bevan on opposite number Nic White.

    It's just a penalty and I think that's a fair call... Bevan's knee was on the ground when he made the tackle, though that's not saying cards have not been given for that before.

    Saying that, White is going off.
