Dan Biggar probably wishes that Michael Hooper was back in the Australia side. 

Hooper's replacement Sean McMahon says 'no deal' when he is offered the dummy by the Wales fly-half and instead hits Biggar with an enormous shoulder.

A full whiplash-inducing wallop.

Wales have a penalty advantage as Australia are pinged for not rolling away on halfway.

Dan Biggar takes the chance to hoist a high one to put Israel Folau under the microscope. He fails to take it under pressure from Liam Williams.

No advantage for Wales though so we come back and Biggar whacks the penalty kick to touch for a line-out in the Aussie 22m.

The Australia scrum was rock solid against England, but it is coming under pressure from this Welsh pack.

Huge shove in the scrum and the Wallabies are scraping the ball back by the skin of their teeth at the set-piece.

"Fantastic start from Wales. You can tell from the scrum the Welsh are on. We are on for a bell-ringer.

"There have been three sloppy breakdowns from the Australians. Early signs are good for Wales."  

Bang in front and Dan Biggar, who has not missed a kick yet at the World Cup, is not going to blemish his record with that one. 

Over she goes and Wales have started well.

The referee's arm shoots up. Advantage Wales. Dan Biggar with a shot-to-nothing cross-field bomb. It is overcooked, clean over Alex Cuthbert's head, but we'll come back for the penalty.

Ball turned over at the scrum as the Wales pack pile on the pressure. Gareth Davies darts blind, the ball is spread back across, George North! Is he over? No.

But Wales have scrum-down, five out and a massive chance of an early score.

Wales first line-out is a shocker. Crossed wires, jumpers failing to make it off the deck and a knock-on makes it scrum Australia on halfway.

Dan Biggar pumps the kick-off long. Australia gather. Matt Giteau returns fire up towards halfway.

We are go.

South-west London has more Aussies per square mile than most of Australia.

There is Prince William, red scarf draped around his regal shoulders, blasting out the Welsh national anthem up in the posh seats.

He has picked the right horse to back in the Royal Family's sweepstake.

No sign of Prince Harry lending his support.

The 2003 World Cup finalist, who won 76 caps for the Wallabies, has had plenty to say about this evening's game at Twickenham.

"It was a clinical display by Australia against England but the big worry from an Australian fans' perspective is 'are we capable of going up from there?'

"I'm really intrigued to see if that's the case against Wales. If they are that clinical today, it will be tough for Wales.  

"The Australia coach, Michael Cheika, knows what he wants. And he is fantastic at keeping your feet firmly on the ground. He wants this Australia team to go out there and express themselves.

"The game is going to be phenomenal and I can't wait for it."

Wales captain Sam Warburton has a smile and word for the mascot as the two teams line up in the tunnel. Quality captain, quality player, quality man. 

Australia are without influential back rower Michael Hooper after he was banned for clearing out England's Mike Brown last weekend. 

The Wallabies select Sean McMahon in the back row, with Drew Mitchell drafted in on the wing in place of the injured Rob Horne.

Full-back Israel Folau was named in the side on Thursday after being troubled by an ankle injury, but he missed the final training session on Friday.

Winger George North switches to centre as Wales make six changes from the side that beat Fiji.

North is preferred to Tyler Morgan, with Liam Williams named on the wing after recovering from concussion. New Zealand-born Gareth Anscombe makes his first international start at full-back.

Fit-again props Samson Lee and Paul James come into the front row, with veteran loose-head Gethin Jenkins missing out altogether. Luke Charteris starts in the second row in place of Bradley Davies.

Twickenham is awash with green, gold and red as both sets of players are told it is time to leave their changing rooms. 

*Five minutes to go klaxon*

Time for you to grab another beverage, time for us to remind you of the two teams...
