But Noah Lolesio’s goalkicking made the difference as his 13-point haul thwarted battling Wales’ bid for a first win against Australia Down Under since 1969, and Ben Donaldson added a late three-pointer. Lolesio added the conversion, and his penalty eight minutes later following 21 attacking phases deep inside Wales territory made it 10-0. Another Lolesio penalty restored Australia’s cushion, and he completed his hat-trick just before half-time after Wallabies lock Lukhan Salakaia-Loto was yellow-carded following a high challenge on Wales prop Archie Griffin, securing a 23-14 interval advantage.
