Australia had their struggles last year but 2015 has been a really successful one for them so far and it could get even better. They won the Rugby Championship earlier in the year with wins over South Africa and New Zealand and are unbeaten so far in this tournament.  Wins over Uruguay and Fiji were fully expected but beating England at Twickenham 33-13 wasn't expected.  Beating England perhaps but winning by 20 points certainly wasn't. There's still some hard work to do in this pool though because they need to beat Wales to finish top. Winning the pool takes the victor into the bottom half of the draw and that means they won't have to beat New Zealand to get to the final. Australia have the upper hand on Wales at present having won their last ten meetings. The last nine wins have been close though, really close. The last five meetings between these sides has seen Australia win by a total of just 14 points.  Both sides have some injury and suspension problems but it's Australia who have looked the best side of the two so far in the tournament and they should be able to get a fourth straight win and finish top.
