Even though that went over I don't think Wales will be too disappointed considering what it could have been.

That was brilliant. 

The two offloads were the key moments in that play. Wales will be happy in the defence but Australia's use of the dummy runners was beautiful.

Wales scamper back and haul down Tevita Kuridrania just 10 metres short. Panic stations and all hands to the pump as the red shirts try and form up some sort of defensive line.

They have infringed somewhere though and Bernard Foley is going to take the first shot at goal.

Australia number eight Lopeti Timani gets shunted back by a big shoulder from, I think, Ross Moriarty.

But Wales are in trouble here as Israel Folau slips his man...

The kick-off is safely gathered by Wales as Israel Folau slips in pursuit.

Rhys Webb finds Dan Biggar and the fly-half finds a good touch, skidding the ball out of play near Australia's 10-metre line.

I don't need to tell you this bit.

A stirring rendition of Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, from deep in the belly of the Welsh dragon, ruffles the vocal cords of 74,000 fans inside the Principality Stadium and the home team are sent scuttling back to prepare for kick-off with hackles raised and spirits lifted.

Australia to kick off.

Wales have so much experience. We have touched on statistics but this is the time to change it. 

Wales have so many caps and so many class players.

I think accusations Wales are predictable are justified. We haven't changed tactics much. 

Wales have had opportunities to win games but have not been clinical enough. That is the difference between southern and northern hemisphere teams. 

Wales have to evolve the way they play tactically. 

Sam Davies is on the bench and he plays flatter and brings players into the game. Fingers crossed we will see that today.

Australia back Drew Mitchell on BBC One: "It has been tough for Australia playing against quality opposition this season. The opponents have been right on top of their game, England were at the peak of their powers after the Six Nations. 

"This tour hopefully we will see a different team and one with the confidence to play that attacking style we like to see in Australia."

Australia coach Michael Cheika: "I don't think we have thought too much about a Grand Slam this autumn.

"We have a young team. A lot of debutants who are playing here for the first time at Cardiff.

"We have just thought about the first day and the first match, a lot of the guys don't know where we are going next week."

Wales coach Rob Howley: "We were disappointed to lose Jonathan. He pulled up yesterday in training and we have an able deputy in Scott Williams. He brings a different skill set but I am looking forward to seeing him play.

"There were areas we need to improve from in the first two tests in New Zealand. We want to continue that skill set and be clinical. That will be important today against a very good Australia side. 

"We have great games against them with three or four points between us, I have no doubt it will be the same today."

Australia have ushered David Pocock back into their side, with the 28-year-old winning his 62nd cap, but first at blindside flanker rather than his usual number eight.

He is in harness with old ball-pilfering mucker Michael Hooper.

Combatting those two at the breakdown will be crucial for the Welsh today. 

Wallabies coach Michael Chieka has opted to keep Israel Folau at full-back rather than switching him into midfield in place of the injured Samu Kerevi. Tevita Kuridrani gets the centre gig.

Australia: Israel Folau, Dane Haylett-Petty, Tevita Kuridrania, Reece Hodge, Henry Speight, Bernard Foley, Nick Phipps, Scott Sio, Stephen Moore (capt), Sekope Kepu, Rory Arnold, Adam Coleman, David Pocock, Michael Hooper, Lopeti Timani.

Replacements Tolu Latu, James Slipper, Allan Alaalatoa, Rob Simmons, Scott Fardy, Nick Frisby, Quade Cooper, Sefa Naivalu

The loss of centre Jonathan Davies may send a chill through the ranks of Wales fans, but Scott Williams is a more than able deputy who will be making his 39th appearance.

The main concern will surround the fitness of Williams, who missed Scarlets' European Champions Cup defeat against Saracens on 22 October with a foot injury and has not played since the victory over Sale on 15 October.

Daniel Lewis: So Scott Williams plays? Hopefully, he can get a good run in the side.Always been a fan of his.

Some big team news emerged from the Wales camp earlier today.

Centre Jonathan Davies has a tight hamstring and will be replaced by Scarlets team-mate Scott Williams at outside centre.

Sam Warburton, Alun Wyn Jones and Taulupe Faletau are also missing although Leigh Halfpenny returns for the first time since that gut-punch of an injury just before the World Cup.

This is what Wales are looking like today:

Wales: Leigh Halfpenny; Alex Cuthbert, Scott Williams, Jamie Roberts, George North; Dan Biggar, Rhys Webb; Gethin Jenkins (capt), Ken Owens, Samson Lee, Luke Charteris, Bradley Davies, Dan Lydiate, Justin Tipuric, Ross Moriarty.

Replacements: Scott Baldwin, Nicky Smith, Tomas Francis, Cory Hill, James King, Gareth Davies, Sam Davies, Hallam Amos.
