Key Match Up<\/p>\n
Carys Phillips v Katalina Amosa<\/p>\n
The set-piece battle shapes to be a fascinating contest between the two sides, with the hookers at the centre of it.<\/p>\n
The Wallaroos scrum was dominated last week, with Amosa adding serious power, however their lineout struggled.<\/p>\n
It was the inverse for Wales, with Phillips called upon to steady the ship in an area which the Welsh pride themselves on.<\/p>\n
