In their last four games Robbie Deans’s Wallabies have won twice and lost twice. In their two wins they out-scored their opponents by one try in each game. In their last two defeats they were outscored 12 tries to 2. In other words, when the Wallabies have won it’s been close, but when they’ve lost it’s been a thumping.
In 12 days time the Wallabies face the All Blacks at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
In their last four games Graham Henry’s All Blacks have also won twice and lost twice. In their two wins the All Blacks out-scored their opponents 7 tries to 1, but in their two losses they were only outscored by a try in each game. In other words, when the ABs have lost, it’s been close, but when they’ve won it has been in emphatic style.
This year both teams have scored nearly the same number of tries (23 for the ABs, 22 for the Wallabies). But the Kiwis have been far better on defense letting in just 13 tries compared to 21for the Wallabies.
Guess what the Wallabies need to be working on this week?
