Dragons RFC ace Evan Minto impressed as Wales Under-20s edged out Australia in a topsy-turvy game in Tbilisi, Georgia - ensuring they will take on Scotland for fifth place in the Junior World Championship.
Wing Rhys Cummings (2), centre Osian Darwin-Lewis, flanker Deian Gwynne crossed for scores and the pack earned a penalty try, while Carwyn Leggatt Jones kicked 11 points.
Australia thought they had won it with a 79th-minute try by Jonty Fowler but it was chalked off after the TMO spotted a knock-on.
Wales held on and beat the Junior Wallabies for the first time since 2018 and set-up a clash with Scotland U20s on Friday afternoon (kick-off 5.30pm UK).
