Under-pressure Wales coach Warren Gatland has made four changes from the side beaten by Fiji to face Australia in Cardiff on Sunday.

Wales went down 24-19 to the Fijians last weekend in what was a record-equalling 10th successive Test defeat.

The Wallabies arrive in the Welsh capital having pipped England 42-37 to kick off their bid to emulate Australia’s 1984 Grand Slam-winning tourists. After Wales, they then take on Scotland and Ireland.“They are a much-improved side since the summer and have played a number of Test matches since we last met. We know we need to put in an 80-minute performance on Sunday.

Ellis Bevan starts at scrumhalf and Tom Rogers is named on the wing in place of the injured Tomos Williams and Mason Grady respectively. Cameron Winnett continues at fullback, with Blair Murray on the other wing, outside retained midfield pairing of Max Llewellyn and Ben Thomas.
