The reality that the Wallabies are underachievers and well short of their Tri Nations rivals is starting to hit the players, according to Greg Growden in the Sydney Morning Herald.
"Some on the team may want to ignore it, but not their second-rower, Dean Mumm, who yesterday explained how infuriating it was that they had virtually no trophies to show for their recent meanderings. The team constantly follows courageous wins with inexplicable losses, as again occurred last Saturday night in Sydney against England.
"The Wallabies have not won the World Cup since 1999, the Bledisloe Cup since 2002 or the Tri Nations trophy since 2001. Adding to the pain is that the Wallabies dropped to fourth in the International Rugby Board rankings this week."
