Injuries aside, Wales coach Warren Gatland has named a full-strength side. Captain Alun Wyn Jones will run out for his 130th match for the Red Dragons, setting a new Welsh record.
Wales post match press conference:
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has taken a different approach to the game, making a number of changes to the team that was given a scare by the Flying Fijians in their first match of the tournament. Notably, halves Will Genia and Bernard Foley have come in for Nic White and Christian Lealii'fano whilst Dane Haylett-Petty has taken over at fullback for Kurtley Beale.
Last November, Wales broke a 13-match losing streak against the Wallabies and will be hoping to build from that victory. Gatland’s latest side includes nine players from last year’s victory.
Australia: Dane Haylett-Petty, Adam Ashley-Cooper, James O'Connor, Samu Kerevi, Marika Koroibete, Bernard Foley, Will Genia, Isi Naisarani, Michael Hooper (c), David Pocock, Rory Arnold, Izack Rodda, Allan Alaalatoa, Tolu Latu, Scott Sio. Res: Jordan Uelese, James Slipper, Sekope Kepu, Adam Coleman, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Nic White, Matt To'omua, Kurtley Beale.

Aha. An Irishman with logic! Follow the flow: - Ireland peaks with a >80% win record between 2020 and 2023. And then… - crashes out of another QF at the WC; - Beat a poor French Team; - Beat 6N wooden spoonists Italy; - Play shite against eventual wooden spoonists Wales; - Lose against the most boring, “the worst English team ever” , a team widely regarded as unable to attack; - scrape through against Scotland. This article, No - Trimble, is on the money! Except for one glaring statement: _The Springboks have a few aces in the hole in this debate being the reigning world champions and official world number ones_ There is no debate, boys and girls. There it is. In black and white. “Reigning World Champions and OFFICIAL world number ones”. Come July, the overrated Andy Farrell and this overhyped team are going to enter into a world of hurt.
