Filipo Daugunu grabbed two crucial tries for Australia in their win over Wales
Filipo Daugunu’s two tries helped condemn Wales to a ninth-straight defeat as they were beaten 36-28 by Australia in Melbourne in the second Test on Saturday.
Winger Daugunu finishing a length-of-the-field attack and James Gordon punishing an error put the Wallabies in the ascendancy at AAMI Park in the first half, with the driving maul proving a big weapon for Wales as Dewi Lake hit back with two tries for the visitors.
Noah Lolesio’s kicking helped Australia into a 23-14 lead at half-time, but the lead was cut to two in the 47th minute as Liam Williams finished. Nevertheless, Allan Alaalatoa’s first try for his country restored some comfort for the hosts.
Another piece of Daugunu magic with 12 minutes to go looked to have ended hopes of a comeback before Rio Dyer found a way over following the restart, but it ultimately proved too big of a mountain to climb.
