Wallabies lose to Italy for first time in Spring Tour shocker

Wallabies lose to Italy for first time in Spring Tour shocker. Ben Donaldson missed a conversion after the siren as Italy beat Australia for the firsttime in their 19 attempts over 39 years. Cadeyrn Neville crossed after fulltime but Donaldon pushed his attempt wide. Dave Rennie made 11 changes to his starting lineup for Sunday’s match. He was given the green light through to the World Cup by Rugby Australia. The Wallabies missed 17 tackles and gave away 16 penalties to nine. They have beaten Scotland by a point and lost to France and Italy by the same margin in the past two weeks.

Rugby World Cup 2023: Wallabies team tracker, squad selection, draw, Eddie Jones

Power and speed are the keys to Rugby World Cup success, says Eddie Jones, with a'run-first' approach to the game dead and buried. Australian rugby's golden age might have been built around an attack-first mentality, but the modern game demands an up-tempo style favouring quick ball and momentum. "The game's about being fast now," Jones said last…

Rugby 2023: Big-money stars Suliasi Vunivalu and James O’Connor miss out on invitation to Wallabies camp in World Cup year

Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has given his strongest indication that big-money stars Suliasi Vunivalu and James O'Connor could be snubbed for this year's Rugby World Cup after not inviting the Queensland Reds pair to a national camp next week. A 44-man Wallabies squad has been named for a four-day gathering on the Gold Coast next week ahead of the…

Australia remain wildly inconsistent but have capacity to beat the odds

The dust had barely settled on last weekend's Nations Series than Ireland were made 14-point favourites by Paddy Power for their final game of the year against Australia next Saturday at the Aviva Stadium, handicap odds which must be unprecedented in the 36-game history of the fixture. The home side's favouritism presumably hardened on the back of…

Wallabies' inconsistency might be best addressed by regular squad rotation

I have spent my Sunday like most diehard Aussie rugby fans, darkly mulling over the Wallabies' 40-14 flogging at Eden Park. Three events stick in my mind the most. The first was Jed Holloway's excellent linebreak in the first minute of the game, where he ran an excellent line to avoid a tackle while the other forwards in his pod kept the other…

A month after Charlie Gamble declared he "bleeds blue" and supports the Wallabies, the New Zealand-born back-rower has been selected in Dave Rennie's 44-man Australian training squad. The 26-year-old is the only fresh face in the squad, which sees Kurtley Beale and Harry Wilson included after controversially missing last year's Spring Tour. The…
