The Wallabies have topped pool A of the RWC after edging Wales 15‑6 this morning.
Australia were also reduced to 13 men but their mighty defensive effort in a try less decider avoided a quarterfinal showdown with South Africa.
Flyhalf Bernard Foley, who led Australia's win over England last week with 28 points, landed five penalty goals from six attempts to keep the Wallabies just in front at Twickenham.
Meanwhile Scotland have qualified for the quarterfinals after beating Samoa 36‑33 this morning.
Scotland's win also denied Japan of making it to the quarterfinals for the first time ever.
In another game, England beat Uruguay 60‑3.
Argentina will play Namibia at 11 tonight.
Looking at the confirmed quarterfinals so far, South Africa will play Wales at 3am next Sunday while Australia play Scotland at 3am on the 19th of this month.
