Australia scored four first-half tries Saturday and hung on to beat Georgia 40-29 to win its third consecutive match to start the season.

The Wallabies led 26-10 at halftime to keep Joe Schmidt’s record perfect in his start as head coach. Schmidt was named to the position in January, replacing Eddie Jones, who now is in his second stint as coach of Japan.
