Wales’ autumn finished with a chaotic and calamitous defeat that epitomised the depth to which they have sunk under Wayne Pivac.
Despite Australia being down to the absolute bare bones player-wise, Wales still managed to toss away what should have been a winning position with some shocking game management.
Two yellow cards in the last 13 minutes fatally undermined them, with captain Justin Tipuric and replacement hooker Ryan Elias both sent to the cooler – which triggered a decisive momentum swing at just the wrong time for Wales. But still Pivac’s men should have got home.
