Australia beat Wales 56-14 in the last match before their Four Nations Final against England.

Australia have demolished Wales 56-14 in their last match before their Four Nations Final against England.

The hosts took the lead after nine minutes when Rhys Williams touched down.

Despite another try from Elliot Kear, the Aussies soon fought back as a try from Cameron Smith and a brace for Cooper Cronk gave them a 18-8 half-time lead.

The visitors continued their dominance after the break as further scores from Daly Cherry-Evans, Darius Boyd, and Johnathan Thurston saw them move out of sight. Thurston was in strong form with the boot as he kicked eight goals on the night.

Cronk completed his hat-trick with 10 minutes to play, while Jordan James pulled a try back for Wales. The score allowed Lee Briers to kick his 100th point in his last game for his country.

Greg Inglis got a further try for Australia, with Jahral Yow Yeh and Josh Morris also getting on the scoresheet to complete a convincing win.

The Green and Gold's Final against England takes place on Saturday.
