http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/34451977

GOOD NEWS FOR THE AUSSIES .... NOT SO GOOD NEWS FOR WALES :-( ;-) :-D

THE WALES TEAM IS CHOSEN!

Yes, Warren Gatland has decided which of our boys are going to face Australia on Saturday!

And here they are...

WALES

Backs:
15. Gareth Anscombe
14. Alex Cuthbert
13. George North
12. Jamie Roberts
11. Liam Williams
10. Dan Biggar
9. Gareth Davies

Forwards:
1. Paul James
2. Scott Baldwin
3. Samson Lee
4. Luke Charteris
5. Alun Wyn Jones
6. Sam Warburton (Captain)
7. Justin Tipuric
8. Taulupe Faletau

16. Ken Owens
17. Aaron Jarvis
18. Tomas Francis
19. Jake Ball
20. Ross Moriarty
21. Lloyd Williams
22. Rhys Priestland
23. James Hook

The changes from the team that beat Fiji .......

New Zealand born GARETH ANSCOMBE has his 1st TEST START.
Gareth's mother is from Cardiff.
He replaces Matthew Morgan at Full Back (15)

LIAM WILLIAMS, who was concussed during the England v Wales game, is back, not at Full back- but at Left Wing (11).

This is because GEORGE NORTH has changed positions. He is now partnering JAMIE ROBERTS at Outside Centre (13).

It's great that we have players that can play multi-positions given all the injuries to first choice players that Wales have had.

Loosehead Prop PAUL JAMES, now recovered from injury, takes the number 1 position from Gethin Jenkins.

SAMSON LEE, who was also injured, regains his first choice Tighthead Prop position (3) while newcomer Tomas Francis is on the bench.

JUSTIN TIPURIC replaces Dan Lydiate as a Flanker, in partnership with our Captain, SAM WARBURTON.



WELL STILL A VERY STRONG TEAM!

AND IT NEEDS TO BE!

Both Wales and Australia have already qualified to go through to the Quarter Finals, regardless of who wins this game.

If Wales beats Australia, then Wales win be at the top of Pool A.
This means that Wales will play the RUNNER UP of Pool B in the Quarter Finals .... Either SCOTLAND or JAPAN, whichever of these teams takes the second position of their pool.

If Wales loses the game v Australia, as Runners Up they will play the WINNER of Pool B.... SOUTH AFRICA
:-0 :-0 :-0


So, Wales has everything to play for!
