Right now Wales can't buy a win. Sunday's 24-19 defeat to Fiji equalled their record for the most successive losses with 10. One more would be an all-time low, the worst run of results in their 143-year history.
Their predicament hasn't been helped by the loss of scrum-half Tomos Williams or wing Mason Grady to injury. In their places, Ellis Bevan and Tom Rogers start, with Jac Morgan and James Botham (grandson of England cricket titan Sir Ian) replacing Tommy Reffell and Taine Plumtree.
Australia bounce into Cardiff following last week's victory over England, which marked an uptick in form after a rotten Rugby Championship and 2023 Rugby World Cup.
The contrast in fortunes is all the more stark given that tournament included a 40-6 demolition by Wales, which saw the Wallabies crash out in the group stages.
The surprise news from head coach Joe Schmidt's camp is that star centre Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, who ran rings round England last Saturday, drops to the bench.
On Friday, Schmidt explained his absence: "We have only got three midfielders with us, and it is about sharing the load between the three guys," he said. After Wales, Australia face Scotland, then Ireland to wrap up their Autumn tour.
In Suaalii's place Samu Kerevi starts along with five other personnel changes, including the omission of captain Harry Wilson due to concussion.

Wales matches are also free to view on BBC iPlayer's S4C with Welsh commentary. In Australia you can catch the match live on Stan Sport. And rugby fans in the US can tune into all the action on Peacock TV.
