    Len Ikitau try, Noah Lolesio con

    They're in for a seventh try... it's getting ugly.

    Australia are just battering the Welsh defenders but it's wonderful footwork from Ikitau that turns Cam Winnett inside out.

    We'll get the record books back out.

    The problem is James is that Wales, to put it bluntly, look knackered.

    You don't want to slow this game down now, Wales want to play, they've got 10 minutes left.

    Kicking the ball to their back three of Australia is not going to help.

    Wales 20-40 Australia

    Australia are still full of tricks, not least Noah Lolesio and Len Ikitau who are still capable of carving an opening from nothing.

    Wonderful to watch.

    Hopefully this can give the boys a bit of energy. There's still 10 minutes left of rugby to play.

    Ben Thomas dives over from close range for his first international try after Wales run a tap penalty.

    Perhaps we will pack away the record books.

    Sam Costelow converts.

    You've got to be impressed by Australia and the way they have come out in that second half.

    All the momentum was with Wales at the end of the first half, but they've just managed that Kerevi red card and completely dominated the last 25 minutes.

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

    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?

  13. Replacement: Australiapublished at 62 mins

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Superb work that his grandfather would have been proud of.

    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.

  20. Replacements: Walespublished at 56 mins

    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.
