Wales 21 - Australia 18
November 29th, 2008
A palpable sense of relief washed over the exhausted Welsh team at the final whistle at the Millenium, a veritable tsunami of the stuff. More of it poured down from the packed terraces, where the crowd had nibbled fingernails down to the elbows as a dominant Welsh team managed to keep the Aussies in the game.
The first half featured some of the best attacking rugby Wales have played for some time, where the ball was recycled speedily, and Cooper fired out a good supply of ball for the attacks to build. Beautifully crafted angles, allied to real strength in the contact area, provided us with two terrific tries. Real Bread of Heaven stuff.
Australia stayed in it due to the shambolic Welsh line out, which led to us being unable to sustain periods of pressure, and gifted the Aussies a "What happened next" type score for second row Mark Chisholm.
In truth, Robbie Deans' men were well beaten by a side that has made real strides in a very busy year under The Gat and Big Shaun. What next ??
