Wales suffer record defeat against Wallabies

Wales suffered a humiliating record-breaking loss to Australia in Cardiff, marking their 11th consecutive defeat and the worst result in their 143-year rugby history.

Despite a spirited response that saw Aaron Wainwright’s try and Gareth Anscombe’s kicks narrow the gap, Australia’s eight-try blitz, including hat-tricks from Matt Faessler and Tom Wright, sealed a comprehensive victory.

Even a 20-minute red card for Samu Kerevi failed to halt Australia’s momentum, as the Wallabies piled on points despite being a man down. The crushing defeat intensifies scrutiny on head coach Warren Gatland, with Wales facing world champions South Africa next week in a bid to avoid a winless calendar year for the first time since 1937.
