It's a must win game for Wales.

Wales take on the USA at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham on Sunday. It is a game they must win to have any hope of qialifying for the latter stages of the World Cup. Following last weekend's defeat at the hands of Italy the Dagons cannot afford to lose again.

Christiaan Roets replaces Wigan's Rhodri Lloyd - which is the only change being made by coach Iestyn Harris. 

The Welsh coach commented "We were a little bit of the pace against Italy. Rugby league is a game of small margins and we weren't quite where we wanted to be. I'm expecting the players to be a lot more up to speed this week because they've trained exceptionally well. By Sunday I expect those areas to have been ironed out and that we will be a lot more fluent in our attacking structure. I also want us to be a bit more aggressive with our line speed as well."

Wales have played the USA twice before - recording big wins in both previous matches which took place in America in 1995.

However, in terms of keeping the World Cup dream alive in 2013 any win will do on Sunday afternoon. 

Kick off is at 2pm on Sunday afternoon 3rd November.

The pathetic result says it all. Wales' world cup dreams are in tatters after the first two home games - which proves the bookies can get it wrong.

Unbelievable how low I feel this morning.
