news24.com

Australia coach Dave Rennie made seven changes to his starting line-up for Saturday's final Autumn Nations international against Wales which he hopes will result in a much-needed win.After opening with a tight victory over Scotland, the Wallabies have been on the wrong end of three narrow losses.

They lost by a single point to both France and, in a historic defeat, Italy and by three to top-ranked Ireland last Saturday.

Defeat for the Wallabies would be their 10th in 14 matches in 2022, a record that would consign them to their worst calendar year since 1958.The Wallabies have lost their last three encounters with Wales and are looking for their first win since a 29-21 victory in Cardiff in 2017.

Rennie's discomfort is matched however by that of his opposite number. Fellow New Zealander Wayne Pivac is also under immense pressure having seen the Welsh slumping to a first ever defeat by Georgia last weekend.Rennie has been deprived, though, of some key players.
