Wallabies rebel against Wales as pressure mounts on Warren Gatland: Planet Rugby

Australia were in impressive form as they completed a 52-20 victory over Wales in eight tries, increasing the pressure on head coach Warren Gatland.

A hat-trick from Tom Wright and Matt Faessler and further tries from Nick Frost and Len Ikitau saw the Wallabies beat the Welsh at the Principality Stadium.

Noah Lolesio racked up more than six Australian conversions as their Autumn Nations Series campaign went from strength to strength under head coach Joe Schmidt.
