Wales vs Australia prediction: Wallabies primed to hurt Wales

Australia

The Wallabies will be looking to make a statement when they take on Wales in Cardiff on Saturday. Dave Rennie's side has been in impressive form in recent months, winning four of their last five matches. They will be confident of causing an upset against a Wales team that has been struggling for form. The Wallabies have a number of dangerous players in their ranks, including captain Michael Hooper and fly-half James O'Connor. They will be looking to use their attacking flair to break down the Welsh defense. Rennie has made a number of changes to his team for the match, with Taniela Tupou and Allan Alaalatoa coming into the front row. The Wallabies will be hoping that these changes will help them to secure a victory.

Wales
