Wales became the first side to advance to the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals with a 40-6 demolition of Australia that left the two-time winners facing an embarrassing early elimination.

The Wallabies had to stop unbeaten Wales on Sunday in Lyon to keep alive their perfect record of making the quarters at every tournament. Wales' biggest win over Australia propelled it to the quarterfinals with a game to spare in Pool C, while Australia's fate was no longer in its hands.
