    This scrum is better from Wales, and Sam Costelow clears it long down field.

    A bit of kick-tennis ensues between the two sides, before Reds captain Jock Campbell looks to takes Queensland forward.

    They are up to the halfway line.

    Queensland are making good metres, but they then knock the ball forward in the ruck.

    A let-off for Wales.

    Archie Griffin is receiving a bit of treatment, he has been one of the real positives for Wales this tour.

    It's been coming.

    Evan Lloyd sent to the bin after yet another Wales penalty and Reds hooker Richie Asiata emulates Dewi Lake's heroics last weekend, by grabbing his second try of the match by powering over from the maul.

    The attacking play from Wales has been great to watch so far but again discipline needs improvement.

    It's long and not straight, hard to blame him though!

    Scrum to Queensland.

    Richie Asiata, con James O'Connor

    Wales were never stopping that driving maul!

    It's almost identical to the first Queensland try, and it is Richie Asiata who touches the ball down once again.

    Two tries for the hooker so far.

    James O'Connor is successful with the conversion again and Wales' lead is down to five points.

    Queensland 7-19 Wales

    Yes there will!

    Wales can't have too many complaints, they had been warned.

    It is hooker Evan Lloyd who is the man sent to the bin for 10 minutes.

    Big chance for the hosts now.

    The Reds are not giving this up just yet, and they are back to within a couple metres of the Welsh try line.

    They also have an advantage for an offside.

    Will there be further punishment?

  10. No try!published at 25 mins

    Queensland 7-19 Wales

    It is such a shame for the Queensland Reds after a lovely move with fast hands shown from several players.

    But the correct decision has been made, as James O'Connor clearly lost control of the ball before he grounded it.

    Wales will have a goal-line drop out.

    Hold on, TMO wants to check something.

    Looks like James O'Connor may have just lost control of the ball before he grounded it.

    Wales giving away cheap points was a theme last week against Australia.

    Straight from this kick-off Eddie James knocks the ball on and Queensland have a scrum on the Welsh 22 metre line.

    Regan Grace - welcome to rugby union!

    That's the first glimpse we've had of Grace's speed as he puts his foot down and slides in the corner. He looked very quick there.

    A very promising start in a Wales jersey for the man who won the Super League Grand Final three times with St Helens.

    Rio Dyer, con Sam Costelow

    Cardiff number eight Mackenzie Martin has had an encouraging first Wales start and begins another Wales attack.

    That provides the platform for Sam Costelow to produce a superb cross kick for Rio Dyer to canter over in the right-hand corner.

    Costelow also converts. Wales are on a roll.

    Regan Grace, con Sam Costelow

    Regan Grace has taken just 18 minutes to announce himself to Wales with a fine finish in the left corner.

    It's a well-worked move and fine pass from Rio Dyer to give Grace the chance to sprint in from 20 metres and he does it with ease. What a contribution on his first Wales start.

    Sam Costelow converts from the touchline.

    Wales are back ahead.

    Andrew Richards
    BBC Sport Wales in Brisbane

    Wales' ill-discipline has been a theme of the tour so far and so far it's no different in Brisbane.

    Wales have racked up quite a fair number of penalties already in the opening 20 minutes.

    They need to get a handle on it before they're punished with a card or the Reds start taking advantage on the scoreboard.

    Wales will have to wake up after that because Queensland Reds have just given the tourists a dose of their own medicine.
