Devastating for Wales as Australia wrap up the series 2-0 with the final Test still to come in Sydney next week
80+2
In fairness to Harris, that was a tricky kick from right on the left touchline and Australia have snatched the win after the buzzer!

PENALTY AUSTRALIA! 25-23! MICHAEL HARRIS WINS IT FOR AUSTRALIA! The Queensland Reds player kicked 22 in a row before missing just the one and then kicking another 15 in a row this season and he has just broken Welsh hearts
80+1
Australia collect the line-out as the hooter goes ... on the 22 m line ... penalty Australia after Hibbard joins the driving maul from the side

Priestland clears and it's with Adam Ashley-Cooper again. Penalty Australia just inside their own half ... Ashley-Cooper kicks for territory with 30 seconds remaining on the clock ...
79'
It's another knock-on by Australia and Wales have the ball. It's with Bradley Davies on the half-way line .... Jonathan Davies ... the ball goes loose but Wales are playing advantage. Less than two minutes remaining now ...
78'
It's knocked forward in the air by the Wallabies and Wales collect to clear ... Adam Ashley-Cooper collects in touch and re-starts the Aussie attack ...

Ioane is away .... he makes 20 metres up towards the Welsh try line before being brought down. Australia retain possession though. Over the 22m with Anthony Fainga'a ... Sharpe ... Ben Alexander ...

Barnes has missed it! Wales still lead by a point! Barnes is straight off - he didn't even break stride as he limped towards the bench.
72'
Gethin Jenkins are penalised at the scrum, for pulling it down, after a series of re-set scrums ... It's right in front of the posts and Barnes will step up again ...
70'
Just 10 minutes remaining now with Wales leading by a point. Can they hold on this week? Remember they trailed by just the one point last week before Australia enjoyed a stronger final 15 minutes

PENALTY WALES! 22-23! Anyone care to have a guess which way this is going to shake out? Wales earn themselves another penalty at the scrum and Halfpenney drills the ball straight through the centre of the posts from the half-way line once again

PENALTY AUSTRALIA! 22-20! Barnes appears to be recovering from that injury as he steps up and kicks another penalty when Bradley Davies is playing the ball off his feet
62'
Barnes appears to have twinged something with the re-start kick but so far he's continuing on ... he looks in a little discomfort though

PENALTY WALES! 19-20! A monster kick from Halfpenney, who is showing no ill-effect from that challenge, and he thumps the ball between the posts from inside his own half. There are 20 minutes remaining and Wales lead by one point again

Ouch! Cooper Vuna picks up Leigh Halfpenney and dumps him on his head. The ref is quick to stop the game and Vuna is off. He's a little lucky not to be shown a straight red for that, it was a shocking challenge

PENALTY AUSTRALA! 19-17! Genia thinks about taking the quick tap-and-go but instead gives it to Barnes, who easily puts the ball between the posts from right out in front
57'
Genia to Ioane ... Cooper Vuna ... Australia recycle ... Barnes goes for the wrong decision in the inside line ... Genia ... Sharpe ... McCabe ... Simmons ... Wales offside, there's a penalty looming ... Genia ... Barnes ... Ashley-Cooper but it's a poor pass and they will finall come back for the penalty
56'
Genia darts through the Welsh line inside the 22 but he is just brought down before fully getting away. That was a try-saving tackle, if Genia had got through that he would have been away
