DUNEDIN: Coach Eddie Jones on Thursday said the Wallabies are"remodelling" with young players, believing youthful vigour can halt a slump with just five weeks to go until the Rugby World Cup.
Just Ardie Savea, Brodie Retallick and Will Jordan remain while Foster has introduced an uncapped trio - winger Shaun Stevenson, flanker Samipeni Finau and replacement back Dallas McLeod. "We're definitely remodelling the team. We need to change the team from where we've been and part of it is definitely the leadership aspect," Jones said.
"The nucleus of any good team going forward is the leadership and the captain's obviously a massive part of that." It is the seventh-lowest capped Wallabies starting XV in the professional era, with just 277 Tests played between them. Jones was riled by questions about the retention of playmaker Gordon, who made several errors in what was the 22-year-old's first start last week.
