Wales vs Australia player ratings: Autumn Nations Series

Wales vs Australia player ratings as Wayne Pivac’s men ended their Autumn Nations Series with a win in Cardiff.

Rhys Priestland slotted a penalty after the siren had sounded as Wales snatched a dramatic 29-28 victory.

Victory gives Wales a third successive win over Australia, having lost 13 games in a row against the same team between 2008 and 2017, albeit with only two of those defeats coming by nine points or more.

The result also means Wales end their autumn campaign with two wins from four, while a third successive defeat completes a miserable tour for the Wallabies.

More to follow.
