Agreed but in his defence i think he went to pass once he realised he would have made it and the tackles arm knocked the ball lose. Still he should have passed it earlier

Wallabies back Mike Harris kicked a penalty from close to the sideline after fulltime to steal a 25-23 victory from Wales in a heart-stopping affair in their Test in Melbourne.

Wales looked to have secured their first win on Australian soil in 43 years but a penalty for collapsing a maul in the final seconds gave replacement Harris the chance for glory.

The visitors showed their trademark fighting spirit at Etihad Stadium but the loss meant a series victory for Australia, who took out the first Test in Brisbane last week.

Wallabies back Mike Harris kicked a penalty from close to the sideline after fulltime to steal a 25-23 victory from Wales in a heart-stopping affair in their Test in Melbourne.

Wales looked to have secured their first win on Australian soil in 43 years but a penalty for collapsing a maul in the final seconds gave replacement Harris the chance for glory.

The visitors showed their trademark fighting spirit at Etihad Stadium but the loss meant a series victory for Australia, who took out the first Test in Brisbane last week.

The lead changed hands nine times as the match went down to the wire.

New dad Berrick Barnes looked to inspire the Wallabies to wrap up the series after making it back to Melbourne just a few hours before kick-off and he was named man of the match.

The five-eighth dashed home to Sydney late on Friday to be at the birth of his first child - a son, Archie.

Barnes set up the Wallabies' only try of the match just before halftime when he threw a superb dummy before offloading to a rampaging Rob Horne.

He also added 17 points through five penalties from six attempts and a conversion before being replaced by Harris with seven minutes remaining.

Wallabies rookie Cooper Vuna, playing only his second Test, made a costly blunder when he took out Welsh fullback Leigh Halfpenny in the air and was yellow-carded.

Halfpenny kicked that penalty which put his side ahead at the 60th minute 20-19.

Wales started both halves on fire, scoring within the opening three minutes of each.

While he had an excellent game, Barnes made a poor start when he kicked the ball out on the full from outside his team's 22.

Wales then piled the pressure on the home side and, after eight phases hammering the Wallabies defence, winger George North found a hole to plant the ball across the line in the third minute of the match.

Their second try came two minutes into the second half when Australian halfback Will Genia threw a pass to no one which was scooped up by his opposite Mike Phillips who found Jonathan Davies.

The centre toed it ahead twice and beat Rob Simmons to touch down.

The Wallabies threw everything at the visitors as the clock wound down and looked like they would have to settle for a loss, with the series to be decided in Sydney next Saturday.

But then Harris stepped up to nail the kick and break Welsh hearts.

Wallabies tried everything they could to lose that gae in the last 5 mins. Good game otherwise.. I don't think vuna will be back in the green and gold though

Not impressed with that performance.

Also, two things disappointed me:

1] Beale sitting with the bench when he has another disciplinary issue (& now police charges) pending

2] The number of empty seats in the stadium. I thought Melbourne was the sports capital of Australia. Can't blame the weather as the roof was closed. Doubt Subi wouldn't have a sell-out for a Welsh test!
