What an eventful half. I would say 40 minutes but it was longer than that after we had that 30-minute delay for an electrical storm with the players coming off the field after 12 minutes of play.
Wales have coped better since the restart with full-back Nel Metcalfe scoring two tries.
Let's hope for no more weather breaks in the second half.
Australia bounce back almost immediately. Wales concede a penalty from the restart and number eight Tabua Tuinakauvadra is driven over. The conversion is missed.
Australia are trying to play some expansive rugby despite the wet weather conditions, but the Wales defence is standing firm and they are dominating the contact area at the moment.
