Adam Ashley-Cooper weaves between Wales' Jamie Robinson and Michael Owen in the hunt for the opening try With Stirling Mortlock's penalty giving Australia an early lead, Chris Czekaj attempts to respond for the tourists Mortlock adds a further three points as Wales' players find their best efforts stifled in a poor first half Wycliff Palu looks to be heading for the line until Colin Charvis intervenes to keep the score down to 6-0 at the interval Another Mortlock penalty and a try from Digby Ioane make it 14-0 as the Wallabies come out firing in the second half Gavin Henson, on for the injured Czekaj, finds himself in the thick of the action on several occasions The second try arrives on 59 minutes when Drew Mitchell combines well with Stephen Larkham to score Four minutes later Julian Huxley scores again after collecting a pass from George Gregan as Australia threaten to run riot However, Wales dig in and see captain Gareth Thomas among those who try to put some points on the board Sadly for the tourists, his efforts are in vain as Australia complete a 31-0 victory and a 2-0 series win
