Wales defeat Australia 9-6 for 1st time since 2008

Wales beat Australia for the first time since 2008 as Dan Biggar's late penalty gave Wales a 9-6 victory in Cardiff.

Defences reigned supreme in a rugged first half which ended 3‑3, with Leigh Halfpenny un-characteristically missing a simple kick for the hosts.

A gritty second period followed suit, Halfpenny edging Wales in front 6‑3.

Matt To'omua drew Australia level with five minutes left but, two minutes later, Biggar struck the decisive blow.

There will have been a sense of regret for Australia, who had chances to take the lead early in the second half but, presented with kickable penalties, twice opted for the corner and emerged from both attacks empty‑handed.

In other Rugby Tests, All Blacks beat England 16-15, Ireland beat Argentina 28-17, South Africa beat France 29-26, USA edged Samoa 30-29 and Italy beat Georgia 28-17.
