The Rugby World Cup, for Australia, comes down to this.

A win will put the Wallabies back on track to make the quarterfinals.

However, a defeat will mean the questions will fly with even greater fervour around Eddie Jones's squad selections and the greater malaise affecting rugby union in Australia.

No pressure then.

Bore da i'n darllenwyr Cymraeg, good morning and welcome to the ABC Sport coverage of the Rugby World Cup clash between the Wallabies and Wales.

My name is Simon Smale and I am excited about this game which will show the true mettle of the team Eddie Jones has put together against a Wales team that has questions of its own to answer, led by one of the games great modern coaches.

It's a titanic struggle with far too much riding on it for this time on a Monday morning, but these are the hands we have been dealt so let's get on with it shall we?
