Wales Team/Tîm Cymru
Four changes to the Wales team that suffered a first ever home defeat to Fiji last time out.
(Wales Rugby)
James Botham (and yes, that is the grandson of noted swimmer in croc-infested waters (and cricketer), Sir Ian Botham) and Osprey Jac Morgan come in as starting flankers (Blaenasgellwr, or forward winger in Welsh).
The two players with 50 caps or more to their names, Adam Beard (57) and Aaron Wainwright (51) are om the pack.
(Wales Rugby)
In the backs, Cardiff Blues number 9 Ellis Bevan starts at scrum half (Mewnwr) and Scarlets youngster Tom Rogers is named on the wing (Asgellwr de).
It is an extraordinarily inexperienced backline.
Outside of number 10 Gareth Anscombe (38 caps), none of the rest of the backs have reached doubles figures, with a combined total of 25 caps.
There are three changes to the replacements too, which are split 5-3.
(Wales Rugby)
Leicester Tigers flanker Tommy Reffell provides the back row cover, while three-cap man Rhodri Williams and one-cap man Eddie James are the backs.
Hooker (Bachwr) Dewi Lake is the captain.

This magnificent arena on the banks of the River Taff is one of rugby’s great venues.
It’ll be backed to the rafters today with 74,500 supporters, with the Welsh fans hoping for a miracle…

Wales vs Wallabies
(AP)
Good morning folks and a virtual croeso i Gaerdydd to one and all!
It’s a frightful time in the morning on an international rugby weekend, which must mean it’s time for more Wallabies action.
I’m Simon Smale and I’ll be with you this morning to describe the action as it happens over there in Wales.
Can the Wallabies make it two-from-two?
Can the Aussies avenge their Lyon humiliation from last year’s Rugby World Cup?
Can the Aussies condemn the Welsh to a record run of defeats?
Only one way to find out…
