Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE coverage of the Rugby World Cup in Japan, where the Wallabies return to action against Wales this morning.
And indeed Warren Gatland’s side will know what is at stake in their World Cup showdown against Australia.
While the Tokyo Stadium clash is only the second of four group games for both countries, it will shape their quarter-final paths.
The victors are set to put one foot in the last eight - while also potentially avoiding England and New Zealand. France or Argentina would be Wales' likely quarter-final opponents should they beat the Wallabies for a second time in 10 months.
Who will come out on top? Stay tuned to Standard Sport for all the action….
