Australia Clinches Series Victory with Thrilling Win Over Wales.

Wales endured their ninth consecutive international defeat as Australia sealed a 2-0 series victory with a thrilling win in Melbourne, marked by eight tries.

Australia continued their winning streak under new coach Joe Schmidt with a thrilling victory in Melbourne, securing a 2-0 series lead against Wales. 

Filipo Daugunu's two tries, alongside scores from Jake Gordon and Allan Alaalatoa, complemented by Noah Lolesio's 13 points from the boot, highlighted Australia's strong start after their 25-16 win in Sydney the previous weekend.

Wales fought back with two tries from their captain Dewi Lake, supported by tries from wings Liam Williams and Rio Dyer. Despite rallying from an early 17-0 deficit within the first 25 minutes, Warren Gatland's team couldn't bridge the gap, leaving themselves with too much ground to cover.

Dewi Lake emerged as Wales' standout performer on the tour, showcasing his prowess with tries from rolling mauls, which proved to be a potent attacking weapon for the tourists.
