What have the Wallabies shown us this year? They have shown that they have no fear of losing a Test match.
I used to watch the All Blacks win and heard of how they feared losing above all else. I too had played in a team with the fear of losing.
What do you do when playing in a team that has the fear of losing? Simple, you score as many points as you can so that your opponents can’t catch and overtake you.
I was in the Hurlstone Agricultural High School 1st XV of 1964 that won the Waratah Shield. We were sure that every other team we played against was better and would beat us. So we scored as many points as we could and went through the season undefeated.
If the Wallabies developed this fear of losing then it is highly likely that they would play consistently each week and would not be often on the losing side.
