Result: Wales 18-24 Australia

Australia win at the Millenium Stadium in Shane Williams's final appearance for Wales.

Wales were unable to overcome Australia at the Millenium Stadium this afternoon, losing 18-24 in Shane Williams's final appearance in red.

Fly-half Rhys Priestland put the home side ahead through a couple of first-half penalties before James O'Connor added one of his own to keep it close at the break.

After the half, Australia scored three unanswered tries in ten minutes via Will Genia, Lachie Turner and Berrick Barnes, with O'Connor converting each.

Priestland hit back for the hosts just after the hour, before substitute Dan Biggar converted Shane Williams's last-minute score to reduce the deficit to six with no time left.
