Wales beat Australia to claim first win under Lynn
Australia (12) 12
Tries: Codey, Morgan Con: Miller
Wales (14) 21
Tries: Metcalfe 2, Dallavalle Cons: Bevan 3
Wales celebrated a first win under head coach Sean Lynn with victory over Australia in Brisbane.
Having lost all five Six Nations games earlier this year, Wales delivered a timely performance just four weeks out from the Rugby World Cup.
Annabelle Codey gave the hosts an early lead before play was halted amid an impressive show of thunder and lightning on the Sunshine Coast.
Nel Metcalfe then crossed twice as Wales looked resurgent, but a lapse in concentration allowed Layne Morgan to sneak over on the stroke of half-time to trim Wales' lead to 14-12.
Hannah Dallavalle extended Wales' lead, and while the Wallaroos dominated territory in the second half, Wales' defence was up to the task.
The two sides will meet again in Sydney on Friday, their final warm-up before the World Cup.
More to follow.
Australia: Caitlyn Halse; Waiaria Ellis, Georgina Friedrichs, Trilleen Pomare, Desiree Miller; Tia Hinds, Layne Morgan; Lydia Kavoa, Katalina Amosa, Bridie O'Gorman, Kaitlan Leaney, Annabelle Codey, Emily Chancellor (capt), Ashley Marsters, Layne Morgan.

Wrexham signs former England defender Conor Coady from Leicester
WREXHAM, Wales (AP) — Wrexham signed defender Conor Coady from Leicester as it reshapes its squad to cope with promotion to the second-tier Championship. Coady brings 198 games' worth of Premier League experience and 10 appearances for the English national team. He was part of England's squad at the last World Cup in 2022 but didn't play. 'I'm over the moon. It's a special day, I'll be honest," the 32-year-old defender said in a club statement. 'We've all seen what the club has done over the past few years and for me to join is really special and I can't wait to meet the boys and get started.' Coady arrives for an undisclosed fee from Leicester, one of Wrexham's opponents in the Championship in the upcoming season. He signed a two-year contract with an option for a further year. The club made internationally famous by its celebrity owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and the 'Welcome to Wrexham" documentary series is doing things differently after returning to the second tier for the first time since the 1980s. As well as staging a preseason tour of Australia and New Zealand, Wrexham has parted company with the experienced Paul Mullin and Steven Fletcher, and signed players like United States international Damion Downs. Wrexham's Championship campaign begins at Southampton on Aug. 9. ___ AP soccer:

The unique Lions challenge standing between Andy Farrell and history against Australia
Sail out through the Sydney Harbour and out into the Pacific Ocean at this time of year and one might well catch a glimpse of a gentle giant or two making its passage up the east coast of Australia. Each year, an estimated 40,000 or more humpback whales make the long journey up from their feeding grounds near the Antarctic landmass to the warmer waters of Queensland to breed and calve. It is one of nature's great journeys and, supposedly, quite the sight – though a few whale watchers this week have been left disappointed with the massive mammals keeping their heads under water and out of the gathering storms that have battered the Sydney shores. This weekend, another great mass migration will come to an end. It is tough to place an exact figure on the volume of the sea of red that has again filled the city streets, given the existing British and Irish influence in Sydney but the travelling fans have come in the hope of history and an expectation that their side will finish the Test series in the right way. More than two months after they first came together at a hotel in Richmond, it is certain that when the British and Irish Lions finally disassemble on Sunday, they will do so with a series won – but the goal for this team, set out by Andy Farrell in those embryonic days, has always been 3-0. 'I never think you should shy away from shooting for the stars because you might end up on the moon,' head coach Farrell explained with his squad having made no secret of their ambition. 'That's pretty good as well. 'That's the quality that we're chasing. I don't think you should shy away from challenging each other and if you don't get there, then hopefully it's somewhere near. 'It sets the mentality in my mind of what delivering means and you've always got a level to aim at.' A defeat to Argentina in Dublin is something of a bugbear given it takes emulating the 'Invincibles' of 1974 off the table, but there are plenty of historians within and beyond the squad cooing eagerly over the prospect of a whitewash. Even Willie John McBride's glorious vintage did not manage that, a draw in the fourth match of that South Africa series taking a slight shine off a trip upon which the Lions won every other game. Indeed, one must delve deeper into the annals to retrieve the last clean sweep. The 1927 adventure in Argentina is a relic of a bygone age – it was the first time the side yet to be known as the Pumas sported the now-familiar blue and white hoops, while visiting captain David MacMyn wrote in his travel diary of practicing daily on the long sea voyage down to South America. 'We were all imbued with the desire to play as it should be played, and there was no laziness in our preparation on board the ship,' MacMyn wrote. 'We train hard. Every morning we had practice of scrum, backs, physical training of all kinds and swimming before lunch. At night we had many conversations in front of the blackboard and we made all kinds of plans. And so, the hard training and the free exchange of ideas stimulated us for the exhausting days that we had ahead.' Perhaps the Scottish forward and Farrell would have found themselves kindred spirits. There is much in MacMyn's diary that would chime with the words and deeds of the Lions head coach on this trip, from a balance of fun and fierce work ethic to a wish to play the game in the right way. On Thursday, Farrell spoke with pride of not just the results his team have achieved but the ambitious manner in which they have achieved them; it hasn't always clicked on this tour yet you could never accuse the tourists of playing with too cautious a streak. The theme of this week has been 'one last push', with Farrell strapping up weary and wounded warriors to go again in a familiar-looking team. The presence of two covering replacements for the back row, plus the versatile Ollie Chessum, is in part a nod to the heavy workloads shouldered by Tadhg Beirne, Tom Curry and Jack Conan, three of the Lions' best in the Tests. Much has been made of the unique challenge Farrell faces in getting his side up for this game with the series won – a task Ian McGeechan did not succeed in on the 1997 tour – but this has equally been a tricky week for his counterpart Joe Schmidt. The Australia head coach has run the full gamut of emotions in a search for the whys and wherefores of defeat snatched from the jaws of victory in Melbourne, from deep introspection to (perhaps understandable) frustration and fury at the bounces of the ball and 50/50 decisions that did not fall the Wallabies' way. 'It was an incredibly deflated group,' Schmidt muttered morosely. 'Tuesday was tough, actually, to get them up off the canvas, and on Thursday there was a little bit of an upswing and we've just got to keep that momentum. Hopefully they can be sharp and then springboard their way into the Test match." The veteran coach found himself forced to defend the selection of Nic White, who will start at scrum half in his final international appearance, dismissing accusations that it was a selection made for anything other than rugby reasons. 'I'm not a sentimentalist,' Schmidt stressed. 'It's a Test match and you pick people who are capable of playing that Test match and we believe that Nic is.' The experienced nine's kicking game in anticipated squalls will be handy, while his competitive spirit is undoubted and perhaps necessary in lifting the Australia squad. It is about this time on any tour when one begins to ponder the nebulous concept of legacies, a look to the future and past simultaneously to imagine how this series and these sides will come to be remembered in time. The MCG humdinger, a sporting spectacle to rival any, has ensured that even a damp squib in the final Test will not necessarily leave this affair lagging far behind recent tours. The Wallabies, too, proved a few people wrong; let us hope this can be a step in the right direction towards a genuine title tilt at a home World Cup in 2027. Another strong showing would see the belief from the Australian public grow. But for these Lions, who have talked of wanting to be remembered as one of the best in history? A 2-1 win over a middling opponent would not probably do that but a whitewash achieved in some style would greatly enhance their reputation. Like most sides in this modern age, plenty has been sacrificed on the altar of high performance during this tour; now is the time to provide a lasting memory of a truly great British and Irish Lions team.
