Two injury hit  sides meet at the Principality Stadium when Wales welcome Australia in an Autumn International. The Welsh come into this match after a nervy 38-23 win over a 14 man Fiji. Fiji played large parts of the match with 13 players as their ill-discipline handed Wales the victory. Wales were without a victory for four matches before the Fiji match. They will be hoping that inspirational skipper Alun Wyn Jones is fit for this match. The surprise Six Nations champions has looked a shadow of their former selves since being crowned champions. The slump in form can be contributed to an injury crisis but the poor form of some of their key players like Dan Biggar has also hurt them badly. Wales have won both their previous matches against Australia. In the last fifteen matches against Australia, the hosts have only won two.

Australia are on a run of two consecutive losses on their Northern Hemisphere tour. Their tour started well with victory over Japan but two losses against Scotland and England have derailed their tour. They received further bad news that World Rugby Player of the year nominee skipper Michael Hooper is out of this match with injury. Both their nominees for this prestigious award are missing this match as Samu Kerevi is honoring his club commitments. Australia had beaten Wales in eight consecutive away matches until their loss in 2018 broke that sequence. The visitors were on a five game winning run before losing to Scotland. Their unbeaten run included two wins against World Champions South Africa in the Rugby Championship were they finished second.
