Rugby: Former Manly Sea Eagles player and current Wallabies star Tom Wright has furthered the Aussies lead against Wales with a wicked solo try.
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt says his new-look team learned “a bit about ourselves” in las he named a largely unchanged line-up, albeit with a new captain, for Saturday’s second clash in Melbourne .
The injury to Wright, who left the field in the 57th minute of last week’s win in Sydney, has opened the door for the man who replaced him, Charlie Cale, to make his first Wallabies start. Buoyed by the performance of his players in his first match in charge last weekend, Schmidt said he expected improvement again as he stuck with his main men.
