Gatland names same team that defeated Fiji 12 days agoWales target fourth successive World Cup quarter-final
The Wales hooker Dewi Lake, a co-captain, has missed out on a place in the match-day 23 for the Rugby World Cup clash against Australia on Sunday. Warren Gatland has named the same team that defeated Fiji 12 days ago, with Ryan Elias starting at hooker in a side skippered by the flanker Jac Morgan.
Elliot Dee provides cover for Elias on the bench while the lock Adam Beard will win his 50th cap, as Wales target a victory that would secure an impressive fourth successive World Cup quarter-final appearance. There is also a spot among the replacements for the former England prop Henry Thomas, who is on course to make his Wales World Cup debut.
