What I didn't like last week is when Gatland was speaking to the media he was happy to point the finger at the media. Even when he was talking about the Ellis Bevan substitution mistake he was laughing. It is no laughing matter. It's frustrating because I believe someone with half the salary wouldn't do a much worse job.

Thomas, 25, said he and his team-mates were "past the disappointed stage" after losing at home to Fiji for the first time in their history last week.
Instead, Thomas said there were positives, including a slick backline move which led to the opening try for Blair Murray.
"The first 20 [minutes] was pretty much everything we spoke about pre-game and we played pretty good heads-up rugby," he said.
"But we had two or three key moments in the last 20 when we weren't switched on or engaged and we let Fiji off the hook."
He added: "Nobody wants to lose a rugby game, so the focus for us is to definitely get results.
"Last weekend was one that we definitely let slip and it was a tough one to take, but I think the focus going into this week is a results one."

Kerevi has not played since last year's World Cup following a move to Japan and he will be chomping at the bit.

He’s [Gatland] dealt the hand, he’s been part of the system that has brought these players through and has left us a bit threadbare at the minute with the experience, and if we don’t win we are looking at a really tough run.
But my counter-argument is who else do you bring in? If you bring in a brand new coach, he is going to imprint his style of rugby and put his systems in place and that could take longer to turn them around.
If you go back to the last World Cup, he had four months with that group of players and he turned them into a winning side. They won their group, they beat Australia by a cricket score and they did superbly well.

Jac Morgan and James Botham are also recalled in a new-look back row.
So Wales fans, happy with the team?

One of the few bright moments in last week's loss to Fiji was Blair Murray scoring a try just eight minutes into his international debut.
Can the New Zealand-born winger repeat the dose this afternoon against the Wallabies?

Wales have actually won four of the last seven meetings, including two of the last three in Cardiff.
And who can forget that glorious night in Lyon last year?
But looking at the bigger picture, Australia have won nine of their last 11 visits to the Principality Stadium.

Warren Gatland has got a tough task on his hands.
If I look at the backline that has been announced, they are really exciting boys for the future, but he’s got to mould these boys.
I think Gareth Anscombe is the only one carrying any experience against an Australian team who are very wily.
When you play Australia, they work you out very quickly, they’re a very clever side, they run the ball very well.
As they showed against England last weekend, they can score tries right up until the 84th minute.

Australia have dropped new star centre Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii to the replacements' bench.
Suaalii is replaced by Samu Kerevi in one of six personnel changes made by head coach Joe Schmidt to the side that edged a thriller 42-37 against England at the Allianz Stadium in Twickenham.
Captain Harry Wilson is missing because of concussion, with flanker Seru Uru coming in and Rob Valetini moving to number eight.
Prop Allan Alaalatoa replaces Taniela Tupou and assumes the captaincy.
France-based lock Will Skelton replaces Jeremy Williams for his first Test of 2024, wing Max Jorgenson - who scored the winning try as a replacement last weekend - comes in for the injured Dylan Pietsch and scrum-half Nic White replaces Jake Gordon.
Valetini and Kerevi will both win their 50th caps.
Australia: Wright; Kellaway, Ikitau, Kerevi, Jorgensen; Lolesio, White; Bell, Faessler, Alaalatoa, Frost, Skelton, Uru, McReight, Valetini.
Replacements: Paenga-Amosa, Slipper, Nonggorr, Salakaia-Loto, Gleeson, McDermott, Donaldson, Suaalii.

The Ospreys flanker replaces Tommy Reffell among four changes by Warren Gatland for today's clash.
Two of those are enforced following the loss of scrum-half Tomos Williams and wing Mason Grady to injury for the rest of the autumn series.
So Cardiff's Ellis Bevan, who started both Tests down under in the summer, and Scarlets wing Tom Rogers take their places.
Cardiff flanker James Botham is the other new face in the back row, in place of Taine Plumtree.
Dragons scrum-half Rhodri Williams, 31, is named on the replacements' bench, more than 10 years since winning his last cap.
And Gatland has ditched his six-two split on the bench with the usual three backs among the replacements.
Wales: Winnett; Rogers, Llewellyn, B Thomas, Murray; Anscombe, Bevan; G Thomas, Lake (capt), Griffin, Rowlands, Beard, Botham, Morgan, Wainwright.
Replacements: Elias, N Smith, Assiratti, Tshiunza, Reffell, R Williams, Costelow, James.
Wales v Australia (16.10 GMT)
Image source, Huw Evans Picture AgencyGood afternoon and welcome to the Principality Stadium for the second week of the autumn Test series for Wales.
It may be a so-called friendly, but let's face it, there is a lot on the line, particularly for the hosts following a difficult week.
There has been soul-searching with Wales desperately seeking to avoid a national record 11th Test defeat in a row.
They face the team who were responsible for the losing streak continuing from seven to nine with the back-to-back wins down under in July.
It's hard to believe that it would little more than a year ago that Wales were putting 40 points on the Wallabies in the World Cup.
How things have changed since then.
Joe Schmidt's Australia arrive on the back of that sensational late win over England to kick off a potential Grand Slam tour of Great Britain and Ireland.
Wales... well they just need a win. Any win. Any how.
So first, let's take a look at the teams.
