Wallaby wanderings

Greg Growden can't see the Wallabies posing a major threat to New Zealand and South Africa come the Tri-Nations in The Sydney Morning Herald.

"Bewildered Wallabies fans should feel grateful that many of the big boys will be back for the Tri Nations - with Benn Robinson, Stephen Moore, Will Genia, Nathan Sharpe and maybe even Digby Ioane among those scheduled to be around in time to tussle the Springboks and All Blacks next month.

"Thank God for that - because there's only so many Wallaby wanderings one can endure, and there is no real sense of relief in toppling a northern hemisphere team that have one eye on their holidays.

"Last Saturday in Sydney the Wallabies were diabolical. And while beating Ireland last night will have them backslapping each other for a while, because any type of win by Australia in these trying times has to be cherished, it should not hide the fact that this side is a long way from convincing anyone they will be a Tri Nations threat."
