I think Gatland has picked the team that can do the most offensive damage. It's not a case of defend and hold on in there and hope to pinch it in the end. It is hard to contain the Aussie backs and backrow especially now they have set piece sorted. Bold move to take the game to Oz and hope it makes for a good match. Wales have been written off in the run up to the rwc but they are stronger than given credit for. Key big name players with injuries have shifted the gaze a little more than it should have done. Pack is pretty much full strength now and we have largely juggled backs to cope with a small drop in level. The likes of Biggar finding great for has lifted this loss a bit though. Outside centre has been the big concern with 4 players have been injured at certain stages there. Cuthbert just needs a good bounce early on to get some confidence and he might not be as dog shite in formation as he has been.
Oz is a frightening team right now and whoever wins this has a great run to the final. We have had some hard games in this group so both deserve some easier games if there are such a thing at this stage. Expect Oz to be to good but Wales could surprise if they get going early on. If the new back line struggles to gel it could be walk in the park for Oz.
