The Wallabies have dropped their main weapon Joseph Suaali to the bench. Could be a mistake as they've looked very ordinary without him . . . and Wales have a weapon of their own on the bench, a reserve lock with the first name "Christ".


Come on Wales!

Great offload by Tom Wright and it comes to Kerevi who crosses but can't ground it. No try.

Adam Beard injured and Christ is on . . . Jesus wept . . . and Tom Wright is over. For me the best Wallaby player. 5-0 to the Wallabies . . . it stays 5-0 as Lolesio misses the conversion.

Nick Frost shows great pace for a lock and scores. Wales look hopeless sadly.

12-0 as Lolesio gets an easy kick over by the skin of his teeth.

If the Bok B team doesn' t put 60 or more over this weak Welsh team we should worry.

Christ Tshiunza…what is so special about him? And quite a unique name…

Nick Mallett made a good point last night when he said Wales are the team that hung on to their older players for longer than anyone else and they're paying the price. A bunch of bewildered looking youngsters.

Not even Christ can save Wales as Faessler scores. 19-0 after 22 minutes. Looking ominous. Surely time to dump Gatland.

"Christ Tshiunza…what is so special about him?"
Nothing at all special about him from what little I've seen . . . it's just his name I was referring to . . . and Wales are over for a much-ne eded try. Aaron Wainwright the scorer. 19-7.

After shipping three early tries Wales seem to have turned a corner here. Playing much better!

Uh-oh . . . I may have spoken too soon. TMO reviewing a dangerous tackle by prop Gareth Thomas . . . no, no foul play. Still a penalty to the Wallabies but it's out of range.

Another penalty to the Wallabies but TMO getting called in for a dangerous tackle by Welsh scrumhalf Ellis Bevan. No, just a penalty. Wales remain with 15 men.

Tate McDermott on for Nic White and Matt Faessler scores a try off a good maul. 24-13 . . . make that 26-13 as Lolesio converts.

Brilliant hands from James Botham and he scores. His grandfather Ian would have been proud of that . . . but they're checking for a forward pass.

Oh dear . . . Wales on the attack but Tom Wright intercepts and scores. 38-13 and that's probably game over. Lolesio makes it 40-13 with the conversion.

Shame man I wonder why Wales is in such a slump? Gatland is actually a class coach… Maybe the Competition with the Boks next WEEKEND will bring the best out of them.

"Shame man I wonder why Wales is in such a slump?"
They stuck with their experienced players for too long and now it's only youn gsters with little experience. Gatland was good coach once upon a time. He seems bereft of ambition or ideas these days.

Ikkitau scores to add salt to the wounds. 45-20.

Conversion is good. 47-20. Welsh specatators are queuing up to get out of the stadium.

Tom Wright named MotM and he caps it with another try at the death. 52-20. Apart from a strong 2nd quarter the Welsh have been nothing short of pathetic. Bok B team will demolish them next weekend.

Game over. 52-20 the final score.

This has been the best tour for the Wallabies in ages. They certainly look like a team on the up. They might need some more tight forwards, but the backs look especially good.
