The Wallabies are not relenting, and they came close to scoring a sixth try in the 39th minute.
But after some lovely passing, Ryan Lonergan just bobbled the ball on the ground.
But it didn’t matter because they had advantage and Len Ikitau was rewarded for an outstanding first half by grabbing a try soon after. The TMO reviewed a few potential forward passes in the lead-up, but there was no clear evidence, so the try stood.
And that’s half-time. What have we just witnessed? Some outstanding, clinical rugby from the Wallabies.
