Not a good sign for Wales, Adam Beard is clearly limping and could be in trouble here.

Tom Wright gathers a hopeful kick by Wales and runs it back with interest, dancing past tacklers with the ball in one hand.

The Wallabies already look full of confidence from the England win.

Such a big man Will Skelton and against Tom Rogers, there's only one winner there.

First attack from Wales and Ben Thomas makes a bee-line for Nic White.

It's spread out wide to new wing Tom Rogers who is held up pretty comfortably by the Wallabies.

Once again there appears to be a size difference when Wales face other teams.

They're going to have to use brain rather than brawn.

It's been front-foot ball by Australia, they were getting over that gain line.

I'm a little bit surprised, I thought Wales would be really coming off that line, double tackling and really showing that edge in the first few minutes.

Will Skelton is back this week for Australia, and he is absolutely huge!

There are plenty of big fellas out on the pitch but at more than two metres tall and nearly 150kg, the Aussie lock really stands out.

Knock-on by Australia and Wales get the game's first scrum midway inside their own half.

Australia full-back Tom Wright out-jumps everyone to win back the kick-off for Australia.

Kiwi referee James Doleman blows his whistle and Noah Lolesio gets us going.

It's already feeling a little nervy inside the Principality Stadium.

It's quite quiet.

Wales: Winnett; Rogers, Llewellyn, B Thomas, Murray; Anscombe, Bevan; G Thomas, Lake (capt), Griffin, Rowlands, Beard, Botham, Morgan, Wainwright.

Australia: Wright; Kellaway, Ikitau, Kerevi, Jorgensen; Lolesio, White; Bell, Faessler, Alaalatoa, Frost, Skelton, Uru, McReight, Valetini.

Samu Kerevi and Rob Valetini lead out Australia on their milestone day.

And now, Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.

Warren Gatland did not think rebuilding Wales during his second stint in charge would be so painful with the national side having lost 10 consecutive Test matches.

Following defeat by Fiji, Gatland is facing mounting pressure as he bids to avoid the worst run of defeats in Welsh rugby history against Australia today.

Speaking after naming his side to face the Wallabies, Gatland said he would return to New Zealand and "probably go back to the beach and have a glass of wine" should he not get the chance to turn around Wales’ fortunes.

Gareth Anscombe insists Wales have the talent to beat Australia and avoid their longest losing streak.

The Wales fly-half said the loss to Fiji - their 10th Test loss in a row - "stung for a few days".

But he insists Wales will be better for more time together as they aim to avoid an ignominious place in rugby history.

"The Fiji loss hurt but you can't dwell on it for too long at this level," he said.

"I know we've now had 10 losses in a row, but we've got to find a way to pick ourselves back up to get over the line.

"I still think our best performance is good enough to beat Australia, we fully believe that.

"We need to tidy up a few areas, be more accurate and not make life hard for ourselves. Then there's no reason why we don't give ourselves a great chance."

As I was walking in, I wasn't quite sure about how to feel about this game.

But there is always that buzz and excitement around Cardiff.

You step into the stadium and, no matter what the history is in terms of where we are in the last couple of game, it's still very exciting.

Flanker Jac Morgan is confident Wales can turn their fortunes around and make supporters proud of the team again as they bid to end their dismal run against Australia.

Australia didn't have a good Rugby Championship.

Maybe we're bigging them up too much from that [England] performance last week.

But you can only go on the last performance and they played superbly well.

There's silverware on the line today, the James Bevan Trophy.

First contested in 2007 to mark the 100th year of Test rugby between the two countries.

It is named after the Australian-born Welsh-raised man who was the very first captain of the Wales rugby team - against England in 1881.

Australia are the holders after the summer series, but can Wales wrestle it back?

Warren Gatland speaking on S4C before kick-off said: "I’m comfortable with people having an opinion.

"The Jamie [Roberts] stuff was a little bit disappointing, from someone who is a [Welsh Rugby Union] board member. If he wanted to have a chat with me I’d be more comfortable with it. A couple of the other comments I could take with a grain a salt.

"We always know Test match rugby is about performing and winning, so what will be will be. I’ve always been a great believer in that.

"I’d like to think the decisions I’ve made are putting Wales first, if that means having to make some tough decisions then I’ve been consistent with those."

Had a bad week? Well it could be worse, you could be Warren Gatland.

What has especially marked this week is how, for the first time in his combined 15 years as Wales coach, he is receiving stinging criticism from former favourites.

Here are some of the highlights, or lowlights rather...

Jamie Roberts: "I have a huge amount of respect for Warren and his coaching team, but I won't apologise for making honest comments, that's part and parcel for what we do as pundits.

"He has been a wonderful coach for Wales down the years. He is operating in a very difficult time at the moment."

Tom Shanklin: "They [the Welsh Rugby Union] are being quite lenient, but these next two games are massive for him and the coaching team.

"If we don't get any results in those, I don't think there is another option apart from to look for a new coach."

Alun Wyn Jones: "I want to see some accountability with the people that are making the decisions on the total game, not just on the field.

"The coaches are taking a lot of stick at the moment, but they and the players are not going out there to lose.”

Alex Cuthbert: "He [Gatland] has been in this situation before and if anyone can get it right, it's Warren Gatland.

"But there's probably no bigger week in his Wales managerial career."

Rhys Priestland: "It's easy to say forget about the last 10 games and think about next week but when you are on a run like this, the tension increases.

"You worry and things will be very difficult for the boys in camp this week. The shirt will weigh heavy right now."
