Record loss a blow to Wallabies’ World Cup credentials

We’re one year and three weeks out from the World Cup. Based on what the Wallabies have shown over the past year, they cannot seriously ask us their fans to consider them contenders for the Webb Ellis trophy.

So, it is not Australia’s record that gives rise to dread, but the nature of their performances over the past year. Since finishing last year’s Rugby Championship on a four-match winning streak, the Wallabies have not produced a solid, all-round performance.Even after the previous week’s victory in Mendoza, which featured a second-half for the ages, a clear-eyed fan could not say the same performance would have been enough against any of the current top four sides .

But as Dave Rennie said on Sunday: “We’ve got to be better. While we know we’ll get a few guys back, whoever puts the jersey on has to front.”
