Australia are keen to extend their winning run at the ‘happy hunting ground’ of the Suncorp Stadium but defence coach Matt Taylor conceded: ‘We need to be better’
for the series, the Wallabies are confident of gaining the upper hand in the crucial forwards battle.
“We’re not here to be even with England, we’re here to dominate them. We didn’t quite get that right. The red card didn’t help and we had players in different positions. We’re going to bring another step up in intensity in the set piece. We need to be better.” “I’m a Queenslander, and the Suncorp Stadium is a special place,” he said. “Maybe it’s the Queenslander-type parochial spirit that comes out, or how close it is. There have been a lot of famous games, both union and league, there and it’s a bit of a cauldron for us. We love playing there. It’s not going to get the job done for us if we don’t turn up, but it’s a happy place for us – a happy hunting ground.
