Come on wallabies...

And the anthems are sung with a roar from the Italian crowd

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the first of todays Autumn Internationals as world ranked 12th place Italy play host to 4th place Australia. The Wallabies got their campaign off to a poor start when they capitulated to a second-half fightback from England at Twickenham, suffering a 20-13 defeat last weekend. These teams last met in Florence 12 months ago and Australia survived a tough second-half before securing a 22-19 victory. Australia are finding it hard to stand up straight, they have won just three of their eleven Tests in 2013 with two of those victories coming over Rugby Championship newbies Argentina and their only other triumph being a 16-15 win in the second Test of their series against the British and Irish Lions. Italy will throw everything at this highly experienced Australian side as they battle it out here in Stadio Olimpico. KO in 5 minutes, stay with us
