Australia A overcame a red card to David Feliuai to thump the United States 61-12 in an impressive performance in Nashville on Sunday (AEDT).<\/p>\n

Feliuai\u00a0had started the match strongly at inside centre before getting yellow carded for a 15th minute high shot on Tavite Lopeti.<\/p>\n

The TMO then upgraded it to red as Stephen Larkham\u2019s side had to play 20 minutes with just 14 men.<\/p>\n

It mattered not, as the Wallabies<\/a> hopefuls furthered their cases for a call-up to the senior team that will play four Nations Championship<\/a> Tests in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was pleasing from our perspective was when we had that red card for 20 minutes, and we were a man down,\u201d Australia A captain Matt Faessler said on Stan Sport\u2019s coverage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really bit down on the mouthguard, worked for each other and ended up producing some points off the back of that, so it was very pleasing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re obviously a team that have only been together for a week or so now, but very close, a lot of us spend a fair bit of time with each other off the field, and I think that showed tonight.\u201c<\/p>\n

Faessler scored one of the visitors\u2019 nine tries.<\/p>\n

Winger Dylan Pietsch nabbed a double, while Nick Frost, Joe Brial, Nathan Hastie, Kadin Pritchard, Harry McLaughlin-Phillips and Tim Ryan also dotted down.<\/p>\n

Queensland Reds No.8 Brial was named player of the match.<\/p>\n

Australia A prop Tom Lambert and lock Miles Amatosero will now join the Wallabies camp in Sydney on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Australia A will take on the USA again in New Jersey on Saturday (AEDT).<\/p>\n

Larkham is being assisted by former Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt.<\/p>\n
