Wallabies desperate for Wales win

Wallabies desperate for Wales win

Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has painted the Wallabies' end-of-tour clash against Wales in Cardiff as a battle between two sides desperate to end difficult, injury-hit campaigns on a high.

Both Rennie and his Wales counterpart, Wayne Pivac, have had to chop and change their sides for the Principality Stadium clash after the spring tour battles have left their squads with a heavy casualty list.

Rennie, out to avoid the first winless spring tour of Europe for 45 years, has made four changes to a team who lost their inspirational leader Michael Hooper to a foot injury in the loss to England.

Pivac's side, having also lost their own warrior Alun Wyn Jones among 15 players made unavailable through injury, have been beaten by South Africa and New Zealand and struggled to down Fiji.

Wales will face Australia at 5.30am tomorrow.
