Wales v Australia Live: Kick-off time, TV channel and latest match updates as Pivac under pressure

Wayne Pivac and his coaching staff will be desperate for a Wales win against Australia today to ease pressure on them just 10 months out from a World Cup.

Wales suffered a shock 13-12 defeat to Georgia last weekend, prompting serious questions about the direction of this Wales team under Pivac, although many including Sam Warburton feel the Welsh Rugby Union is in need of total reform regardless of who the men's head coach is.

The hosts welcome a depleted Australia side to the Principality Stadium on Saturday afternoon (3.15pm kick-off, live on Amazon Prime Video with highlights on S4C), and it would seem a Welsh win is imperative for Pivac. He has made six changes for the Wallabies clash, reinstating former captain Alun Wyn Jones to the starting XV while young centre Joe Hawkins makes his debut.

England-based players like Louis Rees-Zammit and Nick Tompkins are not available for this match as the international is taking place outside the official Test window.
