Wales captain Sam Warburton is not showing leniency with respect to team’s long losing run against Australia stressing: “You are not unlucky nine times successively.” Wales defeated Wallabies six years ago since then they were beaten nine times in a row although margin was four points or less in five of those. They will try to end that streak of defeats when they confront Australia at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on Saturday in a tournament that will also witness them meeting Fiji, New Zealand and South Africa. "You are not unlucky nine times successively," Warburton said Tuesday. "Australia has obviously been better than us over those nine games. The problem is not psychological. I was on the back of beating them in 2008 when first time I came into the squad so always keep faith when playing with these teams."
Saturday’s match has become more important because Wales and Australia are in the same group of next year’s world Cup. Wales’s long wait for victory against any of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa will end with Saturday’s win. “It is big opportunity coming in time with senior players being in the squad and the World Cup is near and we have to get a win against one of these teams if we want to be considered among the best of the world, “said Warburton. “I respect the England team of 2003 for that reason. They sent a real message to rugby world by turning over all three when they had their autumn series. We need to get inspiration from that, “he added.
