LYON, France (Reuters) -Wales coach Warren Gatland said his team will be desperate, but for the right reasons, when they face a Wallabies side playing to keep their World Cup campaign alive in Lyon on Sunday.

With bonus-point wins over Fiji and Portugal in their first two matches, Wales could qualify for the quarter-finals with a victory over Australia, whose loss to the Fijians last week blew Pool C wide open.
