Warren Gatland and Joe Schmidt will rekindle their rivalry when Wales host Australia in Cardiff on Saturday.

The two coaches have a long history, dating back to their days coaching against each other in Super Rugby.

Gatland was in charge of the Waikato Chiefs, while Schmidt coached the Leinster Blues from 2010 to 2013.

Both coaches have since gone on to achieve great success at international level.

Gatland has led Wales to three Six Nations titles and two World Cup semi-finals.

Schmidt has guided Ireland to three Six Nations titles and a Grand Slam. He stepped down from the role in 2019 and was replaced by Andy Farrell.

Saturday's Test will be the first time that Gatland and Schmidt have faced each other since the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

Wales will be looking to build on their victory over Scotland last weekend.

Australia will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to England.

The match is sure to be a close and competitive affair.
