Opinion: Bledisloe window is open for Wallabies, but it may not stay that way | paulcullystuff
The All Blacks, meanwhile, are still playing Test rugby in the way they think it should be played, and they aren’t even doing that particularly well.
The Wallabies are obviously trying to find the sweet spot: being able to play a highly abrasive style of rugby while keeping their players on the field. It’s certainly extremely challenging to play against when the Wallabies get it right. They have some enormous athletes in Taniela Tupou, Rob Leota and Rob Valetini, who can subject opponents to 80 minutes of relentless ball-carrying.
The Wallabies, in fact, are probably close to assembling their own Bomb Squad to match the Springboks’ 6-2 split: Rennie could comfortably pick a second tight five on the bench and have Reece Hodge and Tate McDermott/Jake Gordon as his only backline reserves.
