Wales withstood a furious Australian comeback to secure a 29-25 win in an epic Rugby World Cup Pool D encounter in Tokyo on Sunday.

The thrilling victory saw the Welsh record their first win over the Wallabies at the tournament since 1987 and take a major step towards the quarter-finals.

The Six Nations champions built up a 26-8 lead soon after half time after tries from Hadleigh Parkes and Gareth Davies and drop goals from Dan Biggar and his fly-half replacement Rhys Patchell.

Australia hit back with second-half tries from Dane Haylett-Petty and captain Michael Hooper and came within a point at 26-25 late in the match. The Welsh, though, held on on for the win.

In the day's other Pool D game, Georgia overpowered Uruguay 33-7 in Kumagaya, running in five tries to claim a bonus point.

It was back down to earth with a bump for the South Americans, who had earned a shock win over Fiji in their opening match.
