<p class="introduction" id="story_continues_1" itemprop="description"> Australia held off a spirited Wales fightback to overcome the sluggish Six Nations champions in Brisbane.
</p>
<p> The Wallabies responded to their shock defeat by Scotland with trademark determination as the Grand Slam winners suffered their first loss of 2012.
</p>
<p> Tries from Scott Higginbotham and Will Genia helped the Aussies to a 20-6 lead but Alex Cuthbert&#039;s try and two Leigh Halfpenny penalties made it 20-19.
</p>
<p> But Pat McCabe&#039;s try, darting over from Genia&#039;s pass, ensured Australia&#039;s win.
</p>
<p> Wales had further chances before and after McCabe&#039;s try but lacked the necessary precision to secure a first win over the Wallabies in Australia since 1969.
</p>
<p> A
<a href="/sport/0/rugby-union/18379304" title="North injury gives Wales concern" >knee injury to wing George North and a nasty facial wound to centre Scott Williams</a>
added to their woes as both were forced off at the Suncorp Stadium.
</p>
<p> Wales&#039; pre-match optimism was quickly brought into sharp focus as the hosts raced into a 10-0 lead inside 16 minutes.

<p> Berrick Barnes, Australia&#039;s fourth choice fly-half in the absence of James O&#039;Connor, Kurtley Beale and Quade Cooper, punished the tourists with an early penalty.
</p>
<p> Wales, notorious slow starters, manufactured an early sight of the Aussie line as Rhys Priestland put Halfpenny through a gap in midfield before the fly-half took the return pass.
</p>
<p> Priestland fed Williams, in for the injured Jamie Roberts, but he was hauled down and the chance went when Priestland knocked on.
</p>
<p> Australia also squandered a seemingly certain try when Rob Horne, with Adam Ashley-Cooper unmarked outside him, kept the ball too long and Cuthbert&#039;s last-ditch tackle rescued the Welsh.
</p>
<p> But the reprieve proved short-lived as two minutes later flanker Higginbotham, benefiting from quick ball from the base of a ruck, barged through the visiting defence to score his first international try.
</p>
<p> Barnes was clinical with the conversion as the Welsh felt the backlash from Australia after their
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/18324263" >shock defeat by Scotland</a>
on Tuesday.
</p>
<p> Halfpenny gave the visitors a toehold in the game in the 23rd minute as he shrugged off the boos to land a penalty.
</p>
<p> But they were not helped when the dangerous North, who had shown flashes of the brilliance that lit up the 2011 Rugby World Cup, hobbled off with a knee injury.
</p>
<p> The Wallabies enjoyed a perfect start to the second half as their outstanding scrum-half Genia extended the lead with a stunning solo effort.
</p>
<p> Genia sped between Adam Jones and Ken Owens, selling the latter a lovely dummy, and the 24-year-old danced around James Hook - who had come on for North, with Halfpenny switching to wing - to score his seventh international try.

<p id="story_continues_2"> A Halfpenny penalty kept Wales in the contest before Barnes, benefiting from Genia&#039;s work-rate, showed composure to clip over a drop-goal.
</p>
<p> Wales, already trailing by 14 points, suffered another injury blow as Williams departed after a heavy collision with Tatafu Polota-Nau.
</p>
<p> But Halfpenny slotted over a penalty to make it 20-9 before replacement Ashley Beck set up a try that gave Wales hope of a famous victory.
</p>
<p> The Ospreys centre punched a hole in the Aussie defence but as he went to ground, popped up a pass for giant Blues wing Cuthbert to charge onto and touch down for his fourth try in seven Tests.
</p>
<p> Halfpenny added the conversion and then knocked over a penalty in the 62nd minute to bring the tourists to within a point.
</p>
<p> But Wales should have been celebrating another seven points rather than just three, with Priestland spilling a high pass from Sam Warburton with men outside him.
</p>
<p> The sense of a vital chance missed was emphasised five minutes later as McCabe showed Australia&#039;s clinical side to end Wales&#039; resistance.
</p>
<p> Genia was again the architect as he shuffled across the field near Wales&#039; 22 to feed the centre, whose line break bisected Beck and Mike Phillips for a try Barnes improved.
</p>
<p> Wales, needing two scores, squandered a late chance as James Hook reclaimed his high kick after Will Genia&#039;s spill, but Cuthbert&#039;s charge to the corner was halted by a superb Higginbotham tackle.
</p>
<p> Barnes smashed a second penalty against the upright late on, but Australia had done enough to extend their winning sequence over Wales to five Tests.
