Wales 29-28 Australia: Rhys Priestland's last-gasp penalty seals dramatic win
Rhys Priestland's last-gasp penalty gave Wales a dramatic win over Australia's 14 men after a staggering end to an incident-packed encounter in Cardiff.
During that period, Nic White finished a dazzling team move to bring Australia within three points of their anxious opponents and, after Dan Biggar's penalty nudged Wales further in front, Filipo Daugunu acrobatically touched down in the corner to cut the lead to just one point. Victory gives Wales a third successive win over Australia, having lost 13 games in a row against the same team between 2008 and 2017, albeit with only two of those defeats coming by nine points or more.
That is why head coach Wayne Pivac has been so determined to improve Wales' strength in depth and, in this series alone, he has used close to 40 different players.Pivac was under pressure following defeats against New Zealand and South Africa and an unconvincing win over Fiji, and he will have feared a third loss from four when Australia made a flying start.
Biggar's second penalty reduced Wales' deficit to 10-6 and, only seven minutes after Valetini's red, Beale was shown a yellow card for deliberately knocking on a pass from Tompkins.
