Hoping the wallabies get hammered.

First blood to the Welsh , with some slick handling in the lead up to the try, followed by a sniping run off the back of the ruck from Rhys Webb. Halfpenny adds the extras and Wales lead by a converted try

Australia on the attack early but, penalized for not releasing the ball on the ground.

There is not a better ref at present to take charge of such a game as Craig Joubert gets the game under way

Both teams delivering passionate renditions of the respective anthems. None more so than the home side and their fans...

lets have you then Australia

ha

Wales welcome Australia to the Millenium Stadium in an encounter that will be a bruising battle. Wales will defend their turf tooth and nail, and Australia will surely come at them with all their attacking prowess.
Conditions are great but there is a chill in the air with temperatures marginally favoring the home side but, the Australians won't allow that to be their excuse as they look to get their tour going on a positive note.
Both teams fielding what looks to be the best combinations available , and we are in for an exciting and hopefully action packed game of rugby....
The Royals , Prince William and his wife, are in the house as well , to show their support to the home side.

starting with a new part synthetic pitch today....lets see how the game fairs

Tipuric has also played very little rugby, but regardless is too weak in the contact area to compete with giants like Warburton. Great creative 7, but I'd rather we had a decent 10 than a 7 that can do a 10's job. Will always be 2nd choice.
