Wales travel to Melbourne for the second time looking to halt their recent run of losses against Australia.

Wales have never played the Wallabies in Melbourne but faced Canada in the pool stages of the 2003 World Cup at the Docklands Stadium. Wales ran out 41-10 victors that day despite picking up two sin-binnings.

But come Saturday, Wales will be hoping for a similar outcome. History is firmly stacked against them with Australia winning nine of the 10 matches played between the two countries on home soil and they have also taken the last five meetings between the two sides.

Following their win during the 2011 World Cup and their victory in the Millennium Stadium back in December, they added the Grand Slam-winners scalp last Saturday when they powered past Rob Howley's side with a 27-19 win.

Saturday's clash will be the eleventh time the Wallabies have played at Melbourne's Docklands Stadium with their last game in Victoria seeing them lose 49-28 to the All Blacks. The British & Irish Lions played at the ground back in 2001 when they lost the second Test of the series to the Wallabies 35-14.
