New Wallaby coach announced

Rennie makes 4 changes for the Eden test. And it makes the team better, IMO. Ned Hanigan is back, I rate him highly [ FWIW]
Queensland captain Liam Wright has taken Rob Valtini’s place on the bench, and while Hunter Paisami has retained the no.13 jersey, Jordan Petaia will make his return from a hip flexor injury amongst the reserves. Noah Lolesio, who was an unused substitute last week, has dropped out of the side.

Watching the Haka, they frighten me. Don't know how the Wallabies feel. :eek2:

21 missed tackles, some silly offside play, but I like what I see with the Wallabies. I don't expect them to win this game, but the improvement in two games with the new coach is evident.

Well, Calum Clark, the difference in the first half, the aggressive AB defence in the second , which forced the Wallabies into a deeper attack profile, which gave the AB's time , you give the AB's time, you pay the price. Still, the Wallabies didn't fall away, last year the AB's would have put 50 on them. The Wallabies sorted the lineout problems in the second half, but poor passing and ball control [ because of the defence] took away the Wallabies time in attack. Still, I'm impressed with the attitude and commitment of the Aussies. Better things to come.

Too right, Bob! I now have some useful material, other than cricket, to use when discussing 'Australia v England' sport with my pommy mate, in the UK. [thumbsupbig]
