The Wallabies have surged halfway towards the coveted ‘grand slam’ on their British Isles tour by consigning hapless Wales to a record-breaking 11th successive Test defeat, a 52-20 thumping in gloom-laden Cardiff. Queensland hooker Matt Faessler had the day of his rugby life on Sunday as he powered over for a hat-trick of tries under the roof at the Principality Stadium, while fullback Tom Wright also flew in for a consummate treble that won him the player-of-the-match award.
Even with eight changes in the side, two positionally, Australia were slick and cohesive in attack in the opening stages, with phase after charging phase finally earning its dividend in the 13th minute when the electric Wright weaved past wrong-footed wing Blair Murray to score.
