WALES v AUSTRALIA: IN-FORM Australia outhalf Matt Giteau has warned Wales that fatigue will not be a factor when he makes his 14th Test appearance of the year tomorrow.

Giteau is viewed as Wales' biggest obstacle to beating Millennium Stadium visitors Australia and ending a three-year wait for victory over major Southern Hemisphere opposition.

The Western Force outhalf is in such prime form that astute judges such as former Wales playmaker Jonathan Davies - rate him above New Zealand's Dan Carter.

Giteau, despite only reaching his 26th birthday two months ago, has already amassed 64 caps and 401 Test match points.

He is also the principal reason why Australia need one more win to complete a first undefeated European tour since 1996.

Giteau kicked 20 points during the Wallabies' biggest success against England at Twickenham since 1984, which followed his 17-point haul collected in Italy seven days earlier.

Then last weekend, Giteau's two penalties and a conversion helped Australia edge out France 18-13 in Paris, so it is little wonder Wales boss Warren Gatland has identified the Sydney-born destroyer as an enormous threat.

The bad news for Wales though, is Giteau continues to display a thirst for action. He said: "I feel good physically. (Coach) Robbie Deans handles the workload pretty well.

"Among the group, everyone knows their roles by now. We've been together all year, so it is just a matter of managing your workload and making sure you go into each game fresh.

"So far, every game I have gone into I've been feeling very fresh and excited."
