Within moments of the start the ball finds its way to Chris Czekaj who breaks dangerously for Wales A combination of him and James Hook get the ball to captain Gareth Thomas who piles over the line for the first try Jamie Robinson's try and good kicking by Hook put Wales 17-0 up before Wycliff Palu scores in the corner for the hosts Nine minutes later, Nathan Sharpe dives over and Stirling Mortlock converts to see Wales' lead cut to five at the break Hook's 52nd-minute penalty increases the tourists' lead before Matt Giteau scores another try to put the pressure back on On the hour, Lee Byrne concedes a penalty which Mortlock scores to put Australia in front for the first time Mark Gerrard's error gives Wales a scrum in front of the posts allowing Hook to send over a drop goal for a one-point lead With the end moments away, a stretched Wales defence is breached by Stephen Hoiles who wins it for the hosts
