It was initially good maul defence from the Reds following the Wales line-out, but the visitors eventually power over through Archie Griffin, who took the ball from the base of the ruck.
That's a well-deserved try from a player who's been one of Wales' standouts this summer.
Archie Griffin
Wales are patient in their build-up and it is prop Archie Griffin who powers over.
Sam Costelow hits the post with his conversion, so the lead stays at five points.

The TMO is looking at a tackle from Queensland Reds centre Tim Ryan on Eddie James.
The decision is a penalty only, and Wales opt to kick to the corner.

It is unusual for a summer tour to finish with a friendly against a state side following a two-Test series.
England and Ireland, for instance, have travelled home after their exploits in New Zealand and South Africa.
So people might wonder why Wales' players are in action for an extra week following a long season, which started 13 months ago for some.
Wales had been hoping to arrange an extra international but that did not transpire, with this match arranged instead.
It will be the first time Queensland Reds have hosted Wales since their 35-24 victory in 1991, while it is 20 years since the Super Rugby outfit defeated Scotland.
Warren Gatland has welcomed the fixture as he tries to continue to expose his young side to new experiences.

Queensland Reds are targeting a what head coach Les Kiss feels would be "fantastic" upset against Wales this morning.
Wales have already been beaten 2-0 by Australia in the Test series, stretching their miserable run to nine straight international defeats.
That painful sequence has seen Warren Gatland's side slip to 11th in the world rankings.
"If we could get a win against an international side, that would be fantastic for us," said Reds boss Kiss.
"They have a good team and we are going to have to be at our best to compete.
"Talking with Warren [Gatland] this week, they are desperate for a win, so it will be a good match."

It may be early, but it is time to get your predictions in.
Thumbs up for a Queensland Reds win, thumbs down if you think Wales will finally deliver a victory.

As part of the pre-match festivities we have just been treated (if that's the right word) to a performance by 'Queensland's best Tom Jones impersonator'.
We heard him rehearsing a few hours ago and his setlist included 'It's Not Unusual', 'What's New Pussycat?' and 'Green, Green Grass of Home'.
And I'm delighted to say he'll be back out at half-time with a few more from the back catalogue.

It seems kick-off times in Australia - during this tour at least - are more of a rough guide than a strict rule.
Both of Wales' Tests against the Wallabies started at least five minutes later than scheduled.
It remains to be seen if that is the case again today, but it wouldn't come as a huge surprise if the game, which is scheduled for 10:55 BST, still hasn't started come 11:00 BST.
Queensland Reds v Wales (10:55 BST)
Wales' summer tour is almost complete, and they will be hoping to travel back home with at least one win under their belt.
As we have mentioned, there were two defeats from two against the Wallabies, the second of which was a thrilling Test match in Melbourne.
Despite the excitement, both Tests proved too much for an inexperienced Wales squad.
Game One: Australia 25-16 Wales - Australia begin Schmidt era with victory
Game Two: Australia 36-28 Wales - Wallabies win thriller to clinch series
Queensland Reds v Wales (10:55 BST)
Regan Grace gets his chance despite the fact that he has played only two senior games of rugby union before today.
Grace's team-mates and coaches describe him as "a good, humble and quiet lad" and an "X-factor player" who has something you "cannot coach".
The 27-year-old from Port Talbot has demonstrated resilience by battling back from serious Achilles injuries. Now he has his overdue chance to shine.
"I had seen highlights of him and he was a bit of a superstar at St Helens," said Wales defence coach Mike Forshaw.
"The biggest challenge for a wing coming from rugby league is around the back field and breakdown.
"In rugby league when the tackle is made the game stops, in rugby union when a tackle is made, the game starts. That is a big transition."

Regan Grace is a bit of an enigma at the moment. He's obviously really talented.
I've seen rugby league guys coming across before, some of them make it, some of them don't, so it's a bit of a roll of a dice.
But he has got talent so it will be interesting to watch him play.
Queensland Reds v Wales (10:55 BST)
Down under and crossed over – Regan Grace's codebreaking journey is almost complete.
A Grand Final and Challenge Cup winner with St Helens, the Port Talbot-born wing certainly made his mark in league.
But now, after a shock call-up for Wales’ touring party to Australia, Grace is set to join a union of just two others when he lines up for Wales this morning.
And even though caps will not be awarded for this match, it does not alter the fact Grace will become just the third Welshman to go from league to playing union for Wales' national side.
Only Iestyn Harris and Anthony Sullivan have previously made that journey, having both made their international union bows in the same game 23 years ago.

Any win you can get adds to confidence and the public confidence in [Warren] Gatland.
He's had the public on his side, but the more you lose the more that gets tainted.
Questions get asked: is he capable? Is he the person to take this team forward?
So any win he can get now, especially to end this losing streak, is huge for him. And for the confidence of the players in the squad.
Queensland Reds v Wales (10:55 BST)
Head coach Warren Gatland says captain Cory Hill has pulled out of today's match for "personal reasons".
Gatland named Hill captain when the side for today's game was announced on Wednesday.
It was a controversial decision because of an incident in 2021 when Hill was named among a group of individuals who damaged a woman's house.
He was not charged by police but apologised at the time through a representative.
At a press conference this week, Hill said he regretted the incident and apologised publicly, while Gatland explained why he thought the lock should be his captain for this game.
Gatland had included Hill in his summer squad, despite the former Cardiff lock now playing his club rugby in the fourth tier of Japanese rugby.

Queensland Reds are without their Australia internationals, with the Wallabies playing Georgia in Sydney this weekend.
However, they still have the likes of 64-cap James O'Connor at fly-half as one of 14 players with Super Rugby experience.
Queensland Reds: Jock Campbell (capt); Floyd Aubrey, Tim Ryan, Dre Pakeho, Mac Grealy; James O'Connor, Louis Werchon; Sef Fa'agase, Richie Asiata, Jeffrey Toomaga-Allen, Connor Vest, Ryan Smith, Seru Uru, John Bryant, Joe Brial.
Replacements: George Blake, Matt Gibbon, Massimo De Lutiis, Josh Canham, Connor Anderson, Will Cartwright, Mason Gordon, Lachie Anderson.

As we mentioned, the breaking news from the Wales camp is that captain Cory Hill has withdrawn from today's game for "personal reasons".
Gatland's decision to name Hill captain prompted a negative reaction on social media, as a result of an incident in 2021 in which Hill was named among a group of individuals who damaged a woman's house, though he was not charged by police.
Hill has been replaced in the second row by Dafydd Jenkins, with scrum-half Gareth Davies taking over the captaincy for the uncapped match in Brisbane.
Regan Grace makes his first appearance for the national rugby union side.
The 27-year-old has already represented his country in rugby league, but has never started a competitive rugby union match - until now.
Only Cameron Winnett, Rio Dyer, Archie Griffin, Christ Tshiunza and Taine Plumtree survive from the starting side in Melbourne last weekend.
Dewi Lake fills the spot on the bench left by Jenkins' late call-up to the starting team.
Wales: Cameron Winnett; Rio Dyer, Nick Tompkins, Eddie James, Regan Grace; Sam Costelow, Gareth Davies (c); Kemsley Mathias, Evan Lloyd, Archie Griffin, Matthew Screech, Dafydd Jenkins, Christ Tshiunza, Taine Plumtree, Mackenzie Martin.
Replacements: Efan Daniel, Dewi Lake, Corey Domachowski, Harri O'Connor, Tommy Reffell, Kieran Hardy, Ben Thomas, Mason Grady.
