With so many competing codes, it is imperative that the Wallabies play in an entertaining manner. After the second test I doubt any new youngsters will be tying on rugby boots and emulating Nic White, as my brother and I did when following the Ella brothers. Playing Jakeball is a pyrrhic victory, sure you win the test, but you would kill Aussie rugby in the long run.
We have the talent to play smart entertaining rugby. It’s a matter of playing it as our default setting. Winning becomes a habit. Sure kicking has its time and place, bad weather, closing out a game, but that is why I mentioned ‘smart’ rugby.

Winning isn't enough for the Wallabies
