LONDON (Reuters) - Wales must beat Australia for the first time in 11 matches to secure the easier path in the knockout stages of the Rugby World Cup when Twickenham hosts a Pool A showdown for the third week in a row on Saturday.

Wales and Australia wins over England in the first two matches helped both into the quarter-finals but the losers of the third seismic clash must take on South Africa with a potential semi-final against New Zealand to follow.
