Wales celebrated their first southern hemisphere scalp in 12 games as the Grand Slam winners beat Australia in a thriller at the Millennium Stadium. World player of the year Shane Williams capped a fine week to finish a free-flowing Wales move in the third minute. A breakaway Mark Chisholm try helped to put Australia ahead but a fine Lee Byrne score and 11 points from Stephen Jones saw Wales open a 21-13 lead. Digby Ioane scored but Wales clinched the win Warren Gatland had demanded. Wales survived a brutal Australian fightback in the final minutes to claim their third success over a Tri-Nations opposition since rugby turned professional in 1995. The hosts, facing an Australian side seeking a clean sweep of victories on their autumn tour, rose to the occasion to produce the scintillating rugby that earned them plaudits during their second Six Nations clean-sweep in four seasons.

Remember: it's not a real sport if it wasn't spread by the British empire!
And they wonder how they got to be a second-rate power.

In real sports news
When a rugby player can make it five minutes without being either left in the dust or broken in half, we'll talk.
But I'd expect that kind of talk from a Lennon fan. ;) Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
