"Eddie will come out fighting, as Australians generally do"
Rugby World|October 2023
THERE IS an Australian way of playing, in my experience. They like high tempo and have a high skill-set. When they attack they have multiple options owing to the quality of ball-player they have. And when they run breakouts along the seam, they can afford to because of those skills.

"Eddie will come out fighting, as Australians generally do"

But I’ve also noticed the way they use their big front-five players to get go-forward or to give themselves an offloading option in the middle of the park. That attempt to go more north-south has come in, going a bit more direct. Of course, they have always produced good, strong back-rows who hit the contact area.

In Wales we went through years of losing to them by a score or by a couple of points. But once we got that win, it was almost a mind shift, to the mentality of ‘we can beat these guys’. Then we started doing it on a more regular basis.

There was a period where Australia’s set-piece really struggled as well, though I think they’ve got a pretty decent scrum at the moment. They also lost a lot of players to clubs overseas. That exposed their lack of depth a bit and they’ve worked hard to combat that.
