Come on Wales- you've got this one! A wee bit gutted not to have Cooper on the field in what could have been his final WC.

I'm curious was the 2021 Wales v Australia match left out on purpose or is it just missing due to incompetence

Aye- You'd like to think it is an oversight- but it's a big one at that!
