Rhys Patchell has described fellow Wales fly-half Dan Biggar as "an unbelievable competitor" after they combined to help sink World Cup rivals Australia.

Patchell kicked Wales to victory with a 14-point haul after replacing Biggar, who failed a head injury assessment (HIA) following a try-saving tackle on juggernaut Wallabies centre Samu Kerevi.

Wales' 29-25 success – their first World Cup win against Australia for 32 years – put them firmly in control of Pool D and on course for a potential quarter-final appointment with France or Argentina.

"The boys had a quiet few beers then and relaxed, had a bit of food and went to bed as normal. Waking up this morning there was a great buzz in the camp."

And wing Josh Adams said: "It seems we've always drawn Australia in World Cups gone by, and always lost narrowly, so it's brilliant to get one over on them....32 years – we were due one.

"We will have some well-deserved rest as the boys were shattered coming off that pitch. Then we will look at Fiji."
