38 @ Blue Bird:
Looks like the Aussies are pulling away now… like they did last week
Shane still playing and the tiny welshie stops a stampeding Aussie on his way to the try line!
But Barnes now scores another Ausie try in the 62nd minute
O Connor lines up and….
Bibenator kicks an easy conversion!
6 – 24 in the 64th minute and I am glad I did not actually go to this game now!! lol
Damn… Aussies must be rocking with confidence now

Botheration, Wales missed their conversion, it hit the post
Wales win their lineout and start the long journey back up the pitch!

The Welsh have picked up momentum, Shane dancing about a bit!
@ grootblousmile:
Did I miss that bit?
13 Points deficit hard to get with less than 10 minutes remaining
Off goes Lloyd Williams, you would never guess he was Welsh would you?
Welsh changes left right and centre.
Four and a half minutes play left
54 @ Blue Bird:
You’re doing bloody well with the comments
@ grootblousmile:
Jamie Roberts starting a great run of play…..So nearly another Welsh try
SHANE WILLIAMS HAS SCORED A BEAUTIFUL TRY
56 @ Blue Bird:
Time must be about up now?
Shane Williams 58th try for Wales and it is a beauty.
The game ends and Shane waves to the crowd and leaves the field at the age of 34.
His last game for Wales and his last try…What an emotional moment.
Thanks for the memories Shane
Conversion??
