MELBOURNE: Australia's selectors should give serious thought to starting utility Matt Toomua at flyhalf against Wales after his bright performance off the bench against Fiji, according to World Cup-winning coach Bob Dwyer.
Behind Leali'ifano, Bernard Foley, who played the pivotal position at the 2015 World Cup, is Australia's only specialist flyhalf in the squad but has been out of favour since defeat away to South Africa in July. Reece Hodge's citing for a high tackle on Fiji flanker Peceli Yato has thrown the composition of the Wallabies' outside backs into the air, with the winger facing possible suspension.
"I thought the pack went pretty well against Fiji. So we don’t need to worry too much about it but I think we could tinker a bit with the backs."
