Australia produced one of the most enthralling defensive performances of all time when the 13-men managed to keep Wales scoreless through ten minutes of sustained Welsh pressure, that saw the TMO rule out two potential Welsh tries.
It was only the second time that the world has ever seen a performance as heroic as that - the first being during the Six Nations this year, when the Welsh refused to let Ireland past them.
Wales will never get a better chance to end this Australia hoodoo. Never.

Kane Douglas the unsung hero of the Wallabies' tournament so far. Amazingly abrasive today and against England. Australia up to 14.

This must be the Kane Douglas Leinster signed but never saw

Well, if you can't score a try against 13 men, you don't really deserve to win. Heroic defence from the Wallabies though.

Best tryless rugby match I've ever seen. Fancy #WAL and #AUS to both make semi-finals

Just to recap- Wales played 10 minutes against 13 players. In our 22. With 6 penalties. And scored 0 points. Zero.
Titanic defence.— Hugh Cavill (@hughcavill) October 10, 2015
