Supercars star Jamie Whincup is out to cement his status as one of the greatest drivers in the history of Australian motorsport.The Holden ace can become just the second man to claim 100 Supercars races with a victory in either race this weekend at the Ipswich Supersprint event.Whincup recorded his 99th career win on the streets of Townsville a fortnight ago to keep his lead in this years championship race.If the six-time Supercars champion can win a race at Queensland Raceway, hell join veteran Craig Lowndes as the only drivers with a century of victories to their name.Lowndes reached the mark last year in his 559th start.Whincup has only started 394 races to get to within one of the ton - a strike rate of 25.12 per cent or one win for every five races hes started across his career.The Red Bull Racing star says getting to the milestone at what is his teams home test track is definitely on his mind.Knowing how hard it is to win one race - to win a hundred - its something very special, he said.Id love to do it here this weekend.

Interim head coach Rob Howley and his players will be determined to end a run of 11 straight defeats to the Wallabies, and were buoyed by an impressive if fruitless three-Test series against the All Blacks in June. Australia endured a fairly frustrating Rugby Championship, having suffered a home whitewash at the hands of England, and have plenty to prove themselves this month. Both coaches had have injury woes to contend with but given the quality and experience still on display, this promises to be an enthralling contest.Team newsWales are without captain Sam Warburton, vice-captain Alun Wyn Jones as well as influential No. 8 Taulupe Faletau and fullback Liam Williams. Howley is able to call on Leigh Halfpenny for the first time in 14 months, though, while Gethin Jenkins captains the side on his 127th Wales appearance.Australia arrive in Cardiff missing several key players themselves, with Samu Kerevi injured, Dean Mumm serving a one-week suspension and Will Genia in Paris, after Stade Francais refused to release him. David Pocock is back for the Wallabies, though, starting in an unfamiliar blindside role.Wales: Halfpenny, Cuthbert, J. Davies, Roberts, North, Biggar, Webb; Jenkins (captain), Owens, Lee, B. Davies, Charteris, Lydiate, Tipuric, Moriarty.Replacements: Baldwin, Smith, Francis, Hill, King, G. Davies, S. Davies, Amos.Australia: Folau; Haylett-Petty, Kuridrani, Hodge, Speight; Foley, Phipps; Sio, Moore (captain), Kepu, Arnold, Coleman, Pocock, Hooper, Timani.Replacements: Latu, Slipper, Alaalatoa, Simmmons, Fardy, Frisby, Cooper, Naivalu.ddddddddddddKey head-to-headDavid Pocock has been shifted to the No. 6 shirt ostensibly to deal with the physicality of Wales back row. The hosts will not be at full strength on Saturday afternoon, but they can still call on the collective powers of Dan Lydiate, Justin Tipuric and Ross Moriarty. The battle of the flankers - Lydiate and Tipuric against Pocock and Michael Hooper - may well prove pivotal to the outcome. Whoever gains the upper hand in that area will put their teammates on the front foot.Key stats*Seven of Wales 11 consecutive defeats to Australia have come by less than seven points.*During that run Australia average 24.3 points per game, while Wales average 17.9.*Captain Gethin Jenkins is one of only three survivors from the last Wales team to beat Australia. Centre Jamie Roberts and lock Luke Charteris - an unused replacement that day - are the others.OddsGiven their fine recent form against Wales, it should come as little surprise that Australia are 5/8 favourites to notch a 12th successive victory in the fixture with Unibet. The same firm has priced the hosts at 32/25 to end their miserable run, while George North and Israel Folau are both 9/1 to score the games first try.PredictionNeither team is at full strength, and that could end up playing into Wales hands. Justin Tipuric will want to impress on a rare start in the No. 7 jersey, while the likes of Ross Moriarty, Cory Hill and Sam Davies are unscarred by their countrys run of defeats. If recent history tells us anything it is that it will be close, but were tipping the hosts to nick it. Just. ' ' '
