Pool D Decider
What a great opportunity for these two sides to put a marker down on their World Cup campaign and top Pool D.
Indeed, the winner will also be gifted a much more favourable draw with a quarter-final clash against Pool C runner-up (probably France) and then a likely semi with either South Africa or Ireland, while the runner-up of this group will go on to face the winner of Pool C (England are strong favourites) before an expected last four fixture with the All Blacks should they make it that far.
Last Time Out
Michael Cheika’s men trailed in their opener against the Flying Fijians for 61 minutes before the floodgates opened and they went on to record a 39-21 victory. That final score is testament to their ability though as the Islanders are by no means a walkover and they found a way to find their rhythm and get the job done.
Wales meanwhile, went in at half-time against Georgia in their opener 29-0 up, although they slightly took their foot off the gas in the second half with both sides scoring 14 points apiece.
Aus v Wales Head-To-Head
The Aussies have had a complete stronghold over the Welsh this century, going W18-D1-L3 from their 22 encounters, including victories in all three World Cup meetings. However, the most recent clash between these two powerhouses came at Principality Stadium last Autumn, with Warren Gatland’s men taking the victory for the first time since 2008.
Indeed, the Northern Hemisphere outfit are looking in the finest fettle that we’ve seen from them, having won 16 of their 19 outings since March 2018, including a record 14-game winning streak, with their only defeats coming against England and Ireland (twice) in friendly warmups.
That run includes all five matches against Rugby Championship outfits South Africa, Argentina and their next opponents in that time, although only the two fixtures with the Pumas saw them take victory by more than nine points.
Wales To Win 1-12 Points
It was elation for Cheika’s men when beating New Zealand in Perth last month, but they have since been humbled by them with a 36-0 thrashing. Moreover, against the Six Nations sides they&rs
quo;ve lost four of their six outings since 2018, as they beat Ireland in Brisbane by nine points and Italy by 19 in Padova.
In fact, other that their 37-18 schooling by England at Twickenham back in November, each of their three such defeats to Ireland (twice) and Wales have been by fewer than six points and this looks like it’ll go down to the wire like it did when they last met 10 months ago, with Dan Biggar’s 76th minute penalty proving the difference.
