Wallabies v. Wales Team Announcement

The Wallabies five match Spring tour reaches it’s conclusion when they take on Wales in Cardiff on Sunday (AEDT) morning.

Australia has an eight match winning streak over the Welsh dating back to 2009 and this match is the fifth meeting between the two since June 2012 in what coincides with Quade Cooper’s 50th Test match.

For the third straight week the forward pack remains unchanged with the only changes coming in the backline.

Nick Cummins and Adam Ashley-Cooper are returning with Cummins on the left wing and Ashley-Cooper reverting to outside centre which sees Christian Lealiifano move back to his preferred position of inside centre.

The bench has a number of changes with Tatafu Polota-Nau, Kane Douglas and Dave Dennis coming onto the bench with Mike Harris dropping back from last weeks starting 15.
