With the Wallabies already on the pitch, Wales arrive to a blaze of pyrotechnics in the Millennium Stadium.
Wales 26 – 30 Australia

The final Autumn International match at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday 30th November 2013 against Australia who narrowly won an enthralling game by four points. Before a crowd of around 70,000 and with the stadium roof closed, George North scored in the second minute to give Wales a dream start as Leigh Halfpenny converted and followed with a penalty on 12 minutes to give the home side a 10 point lead. Australia surged back through the middle two quarters of the game and led 16 – 30 at one point before George North bulldozed over for his second try on 59 minutes to lead a Welsh fightback in the closing quarter. Man-of-the-match Australian fly-half Quade Cooper picked up a yellow card in the final minutes but the Wallabies hung on to record their 10th successive victory over Wales. LinkExternal link
