Both teams were desperate for a win going into the first Test, with Wales on a seven-game losing streak and Australia needing to bounce back from a dismal World Cup.

Schmidt lost captain Liam Wright to a shoulder injury, with Charlie Cale coming into the back-row and veteran prop James Slipper in the armband.
