    One of the things Wales did best against Scotland last weekend was slow their opponents' ball with some devilish work at the breakdown.

    So far - and these are early days, of course - they've struggled to do that against an Australian side looking to attack at pace.

  14. Eddie Butler on '10 years of hurt'published at 17:07 Greenwich Mean Time 10 November 2018

    I have done a deal with the rugby spirits of the Blorenge Mountain: let Wales beat Australia and in return Tonga can win the following week. They said they'd think about it. Ten years of hurt, all the more painful for the narrowness of all the margins, they suggested, might take more than Tonga. If Wales are to win it may have to be by their own hands. At least they have a game and a win under their belts. The pack should be strong … but the Wallabies are the bogey team. They claim to be struggling, that the game back home is on the brink of collapse. We should not believe a word they say. They lose, but then they beat Wales. Time to break the habit. Wales, courtesy of a bit of luck they are perhaps due … to win by a sliver.

    When Wales last played Australia, Josh Adams was sat in the stands as a fan.

    When the two sides renew their rivalry today, he'll be in the thick of it - starting on the wing, opposite the great Wallaby back Israel Folau.

    Here, the Wales and Worcester wing talks about his “surreal” 12 months.

  17. Wales to win by five - Warburton predictionpublished at 17:06 Greenwich Mean Time 10 November 2018

    To win, Wales are going to have to put 25 points on the board as Australia always score points in Cardiff. Both sides will want to play rugby and it should be a brilliant game. I think this is Wales' year to end their run of defeats to the Aussies and they will win by five.

    Warren Gatland wants his players to show they can handle the pressure of being favourites today

    Wales are on a six-match winning run against all opponents this year in contrast to Australia, who've won only three times in 10 games in 2018.

    Australia captain Michael Hooper doesn't want his players to draw on their run of 13 successive wins over Wales.

    "If you're thinking about teams you've played previously, you're not in the moment," he said.

  20. Dramatic finish at Twickenhampublished at 17:00 Greenwich Mean Time 10 November 2018

    Wales v Australia (17:20 GMT)

    What a finish to England's match against New Zealand at Twickenham.

    The gathered press at the Principality Stadium would have taken their seats inside the ground by now but they've held off on this occasion because they've been glued to the TV screens.

    England led 15-0 at one point in the first half, only for New Zealand to fight back and move 16-15 in front.

    The hosts thought they had snatched victory when Sam Underhill crossed but his try was disallowed and the All Blacks held on for a nerve-jangling win.

    Let's hope for some similar drama when Wales face Australia.
