Wales' Jordan James is tackled.

Australia warmed up for the Ashes series with a victory stroll in Bridgend as they ran up a record score over an outclassed Wales.

The rampant Kangaroos, playing their last match before the first Think! Road Safety Test against Great Britain, ran in 13 tries as the Welsh suffered the worst defeat in their history, just seven days after registering a record 74-4 win over Russia.

After unimpressive wins over a French line-up and England A, Chris Anderson's men cut loose in devastating fashion, although four converted tries in the last eight minutes took the final scoreline out to flattering proportions.

Wales, whose previous worst defeat was a 60-13 hammering by England in 1978, never once threatened to break their duck against the Kangaroos, who scored from their first meaningful attack and added another five tries in a one-sided first half.

Neil Kelly's men had no answer to the powerful running and magnificent support play of the tourists, whose attacking play was superbly orchestrated by scrum-half Brett Kimmorley, who was a comfortable winner of a second successive man-of-the-match award.

Kimmorley had a hand in the first three tries by centre Ryan Girdley, centre Phil Bailey and second rower Steve Simpson and re-gathered a kick by his half-back partner Craig Gower to score the fourth touchdown himself.

Captain and full-back Darren Lockyer added a fifth score just after returning from a 17-minute spell in the blood bin after taking a heavy blow in the build-up to the first try.

The tourists also lost Girdler with a leg injury just 22 minutes into his comeback from a calf strain but there was little else to trouble them on a wet afternoon in south Wales.

Wales' only serious threat came from lively hooker Ian Watson, who had a 15th-minute try disallowed by the video referee.

Watson collected a deep cut to his face in his unsuccessful bid to touch the ball down and had to retire to the blood bin for repairs but he returned to set up his side's only first-half try, racing away from dummy half to send centre Kris Tassell over on 36 minutes.

But the Kangaroos had the final say of the first half when hooker Danny Buderus took advantage of some sloppy defending to grab a sixth try just before the break.

The Welsh produced their best spell at the start of the second half, forcing the Kangaroos into three goal-line drop-outs in the first four minutes, but that man Kimmorley got the scoreboard moving once more with a 50-metre solo try.

Second rower Craig Fitzgibbon maintained his accuracy with his seventh conversion before taking a breather but there was no let-up by the Kangooos, who added further tries through winger Shannon Hegarty and substitute Craig Wing.

Gower landed a conversion in Fitzgibbon's absence but the Sydney Roosters forward returned for the last quarter and continued his metronomic marksmanship by improving Australia's last four tries, which came in a eight-minute burst, to finish with 11 goals from as many attempts.

With Wales tiring rapidly, winger Anthony Minichiello touched down twice and Gower and Buderus also grabbed tries.
