Wales team to face Australia

Wales have made three changes to their starting XV to face Australia in Cardiff on Saturday.  

Tomas Francis, Adam Beard and Josh Adams all come into the starting XV from the side that beat Scotland in Wales’ opening Under Armour Series clash.

Warren Gatland has rewarded players for their summer tour performances in his selection with Adams the only change in the backline.

Wales extended their unbeaten run to six matches with victory over Scotland and Gatland is challenging his players to make it seven on Saturday.

“We were pleased to get a good opening win under our belts last weekend and this Saturday is all about building on that,” said Gatland.

“With selection we wanted some continuity and to be consistent but also mindful there are a number of players who did really well for us in the summer and they need to be rewarded and have their opportunity.''
