Cape Town - Australia survived a major scare to beat the Barbarians 31-28 in Sydney on Saturday.
The Wallabies trailed for most of the match and found themselves four points down heading into the final 10 minutes, before two Barbarians yellow cards in quick succession gave the hosts a two-man advantage.
Wing Taqele Naiyaravoro, having scored a double, was yellow-carded for repeated off-side infringements.
He was joined in the sin bin a few minutes later by captain Quade Cooper, who executed a high tackle on Israel Folau.
Australia may be without two of their rising stars on their European tour, though, with Jack Dempsey and Lukhan Tui both in doubt after injuries.
Tui went off in the 35th minute with a hamstring concern, while Dempsey had his leg twisted in a tackle in the 74th minute, unable to stand up on the sideline.
The Barbarians had led 21-12 at half-time.
