<P> Wales captured the trophy the following year in 2008 with a 21--18 victory in Cardiff, but since then it has remained in Australian hands with 13 consecutive wins . Three victories in Cardiff in 2009--11 were followed up by a 3--0 series win in Australia in 2012, all by narrow margins . In the return match at Cardiff, Australia once again won with a last minute try . </P> <P> The 2011 Rugby World Cup brought Australia and Wales together again for another third place play - off, and once again it was a close finish, with Australia claiming third place in a reversal of the first World Cup in 1987, when Wales won the play - off 22--21 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> No . </Th> <Th> Date
