Joubert is a top class ref but it also helped that both teams were focused on playing open running rugby and put their efforts in that direction.

Yes the physicality from SA has been immense. England are starting to claw the way back into range with these pens.

3 Genia 2 Higgers 1 Barnes

Excellent win for Aus, best test match I've seen in a long time. Full of quality and entertaining for the whole 80 minutes.

Great covering tackle from Higgers. Aerial work by Diggers has been the only negative to his performance, but in fairness Wales did well to put him under pressure.

Genia's performance tonight is a timely reminder that you don't have to be 100kg+ to make an impact as a back.

Great angle from McCabe for that try. Normally by this stage I've picked someone to cheer for but I'm enjoying it so much that I don't care who wins as long as it's this good for the last 10 or so minutes.

Wales blew that one, evens it up for Horne in the first half. Nice defence by Diggers having the Welsh player fall over him, even if he didn't know much about it.

Wales coming on strong at the end of a game again. I think Aus might need to score again to take this one, would be dangerous to rely on defence and let the momentum swing.

Just a side note on something that been discussed about S15 this year. Joubert allowed the quick tap to be taken in front of him for the early engage, rather than at the scrum. The same thing has been pulled up a lot in S15 this year.

Great tackle from AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) saved a try.

What a try by Genia, top class.

Best first 40 by Aus in a long time. Wales stuck in the game well, something they did in the 6Ns also. Whatever the final outcome a lot of the Wallabies deserve high praise for that first half performance. One score game still and really entertaining, looking forward to the 2nd 40.

Stupid by Phillips, he's lucky that Barnes hit the post with that one.

Good pace shown by Vuna to get himself in range to possible officially register those missed tackles. Apart from him on defence it's been very impressive from Aus. Wales beginning to feel their way into the game. North off is a huge loss as it looked like he might spark Wales.

Well done to Higgers on the try, he's playing much better than against Scotland who stopped him before he could get up any steam.

Horne was terrible there, all he had to do was pass it out and it was a guaranteed try.

Early days but Genia is looking really sharp.

Robbie side stepped a question, from sky sports, about picking 9 guys from the Tahs and the Force who've lost 20 S15 games this season. Best piece of midfield play I've seen from the Wallabies in quite some time.

Well done to NZ very clinical performance. What a debut for Savea extremely impressive. NZ look to be back to their pre-2011 form. Positives from Ireland were the work at the breakdown and how well Fitzpatrick did on his debut, not much harder place or opposition for your international debut...
