Wayne Pivac names his team to face Australia today ahead of the final autumn international.The Wales coach is facing serious questions over his future after a humiliating defeat to Georgia last weekend, with a decision on whether he stays or goes not expected to be made until after the autumn.As such, a result over the Wallabies seems imperative for his chances of surviving as head coach.

And Dave Rennie's side arrive in Cardiff with a spate of injuries, which certainly helps Wales' cause.Pivac will be without a few key individuals, with English-based players like Nick Tompkins and Louis Rees-Zammit having returned to their clubs as this final autumn fixture falls outside of the Test window.One player who should feature is former captain Alun Wyn Jones, who has not been involved in the previous two matchday squads since defeat to New Zealand first up.Both sides will reveal their hand today, with Wales naming their team at 12.30pm before Pivac faces the media around 2pm, where he will surely once again face questions on his future.
