After his defeat against Australia, Wayne Pivac’s position as Wales coach is in jeopardy.
Wales was leading 34-13. Jac Morgan scored two tries, and Taulupe Faletau (and Rio Dyer) added scores.
Australia responded with 26 unanswered point as they capitalized on the yellow cards for Justin Tipuric, Wales captain, and Ryan Elias.
Pivac could be defeated.
The Wallaby turnaround was triggered by Mark Nawaqanitawase, Australia’s wing. He made two attempts.
Folau Fainga’a added another score, and a penalty attempt was made. Lachlan Lonergan won the match.
Morgan, Ospreys flanker was again a formidable presence. However, he failed to score two tries in a second consecutive week.
