Seven days after slumping to a record loss to the All Blacks, the Wallabies won a wild and enthralling contest, with both sides playing with 14 for the majority of the contest and 13 for a period, 24-22.

It was a special night for the Gunnedah product with his parents Cameron and Mandy, and brothers Will and Sam able to be there in the stands for the first time.

Consigned to watching his debut and subsequent games on television, it was an equally special moment for Wilson's family.

"We're a very proud family," Cameron said on Sunday.

"It was wonderful, it really was."

And to get the win, well that "was a bonus".

Unfortunately due to the protocols in place they weren't able to share in the celebrations with Harry, but they did get to exchange some greetings, albeit from about 20m away.

Wilson had spoken heading into the game about how excited he was about playing in front of his family and friends.

"I guess normally on your debut or first few games your family would be able to be there. Obviously because of COVID they haven't been there," the 20-year old said.

"Just to be able to see them in the stands and just say g'day (will be great) because I haven't seen them for a few months now."

Continuing what has been a strong start to his Wallabies career, Wilson was strong in defence producing some monster hits and forcing some errors with his pressure.

He was also busy in attack. He was the Wallabies' top carrier with 14 runs for 45 metres, and put his hand up for settling runs a few times to put them in a better position to clear from their end . He was also a threat in the outside channels, making a couple of strong runs, although did concede a couple of penalties and handling errors.

The Wallabies' now turn their attention to Argentina.
