Australia are staring down the barrel of their first pool stage exit at a World Cup following their humiliating defeat at the hands of Wales
The thousands of Wales supporters in Lyon lapped it up. Their team lacks the power of other contenders, but they have spirit and cohesion – and the perfect start here with a set-move try by scrum-half Gareth Davies after 140 seconds.
The majority of Wales’s tries at this World Cup have originated from line-outs and scrums, with the granite-hard lock Will Rowlands among the key figures. In that 2019 World Cup, both these countries went through to the quarter-finals, but this time around Fiji’s win over Australia eight days ago, following on from Wales’s knife-edged defeat of the Fijians on the opening weekend, has changed the course of history.
But any concerns over losing Biggar, Wales’s all-time World Cup top scorer, were groundless as Anscombe belted over the next three kicks for a 16-6 half-time lead.And it only got better for Wales in a one-sided third quarter, as Anscombe potted another three penalties and converted a try scored by the scampering Tompkins and made by Anscombe with a chip over the top after eight phases.
