WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The wet and windy Wellington weather could have just as big an impact on Sunday's Rugby World Cup quarterfinal as the skills of Australia's backs or the power of South Africa's forwards.
With the heavy, gray skies above New Zealand's capital dumping almost constant rain on Wellington Regional Stadium so far this week, both sides are prepared to adapt their game to the conditions.
Australia flyhalf Quade Cooper says the wind is an even bigger concern as "you might have to hold onto the ball because there's no point kicking and it going back over your head."
Both teams trained on a wet Wednesday morning, aiming to get a feel for the conditions if things fail to improve for the weekend.
