A stunning match and in the end, after some horrible second-half nervousness, a stunning statement from Wales. They will now surely win pool D and take the easier route into the knockout stages. It was a quite magnificent match and by the finish both sides were physically spent. These were two high-class teams engaging in a high-class contest. That Wales prevailed was thanks to a wondrous first half in which they had bettered Australia at the breakdown and played with width and ambition.
