Already dominated by Scotland (15-13) and England (32-15), the Wallabies made it difficult for themselves from the 15th minute, when their third center line, Rob Valetini, received a red card for a head-to-head shock that had opened the browbone of Adam Beard, the Welsh second line.
They had however started the match on the hats of wheel with an entry try by Andrew Kellaway (2nd) which allowed them to lead 7-3 at the time of the expulsion of Valetini.
Even reduced to 14, they then tried to use any cartridge against Welsh still disabled by absences for injuries.
At the break, nothing was done (16-13).
An attempt on interception by Nick Tompkins, on which the Australians had stopped playing thinking about a forward, seemed to have given a decisive advantage to the last winners of the Six Nations Tournament (23-13, 47th).
But Nic White (23-20, 61st) then Filipo Daugunu (26-25, 70th) managed to flatten in the Welsh in-goal and keep the pressure on the premises.
Then the back Kurtley Beale even believed to give the victory to his people, in the 78th, with another penalty (26-28).

But the XV of the leek, at the end of a nice large-scale offensive, rich in 15 phases of play, offered himself a last penalty and therefore a third success in a row against Australia.

With two defeats, wide against New Zealand (54-16) and tighter against South Africa (23-18), and two wins, against Fiji (38-23) and therefore Australia, these matches fall were undoubtedly instructive for Wayne Pivac.
The New Zealand coach of the Welsh also took the opportunity to turn a lot, in certain positions.
