Wales' show of strength
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Wales will put on a show of strength when they take on the Australian Capital Territory in the second match of their tour in Canberra tomorrow.
The tourists will field their front five Test forwards and first-choice half-backs as they look to build upon the opening 62-20 victory over Western Australia on Wednesday.
The tourists have beefed up their pack for what promises to be a very tough challenge. The captain and hooker, Jonathan Humphreys, props Christian Loader and John Davies and lock Gareth Llewellyn all make their first tour appearances.
Wales will field 10 of the side that beat France in the Five Nations Championship, but have gone for a huge back row. Andrew Gibbs will pack down on the blindside with Steve Williams, the Neath No 8, operating on the openside and Hemi Taylor at No 8.
