Former Wallabies hooker Adam Freier wonder where the confidence has gone from Australian rugby in The Sydney Morning Herald.
"The Wallabies are in a temper trap of frustration. They have played and trained their hearts out, but something is missing, and success evades them.
"Recently Mark Ella told me he was struggling to understand why this Wallabies crop wasn't playing exciting rugby. He and his brothers played the same way for Matraville High as they would for Alan Jones and the Wallabies in the 1980s.
"Where is the confidence?" Mark said with high eyebrows.Ironically enough, as if the great man heard the question being asked, David Campese enters the conversation. Love him or loathe him, Campo is the most honest and confident bloke I have ever met. I love the guy. His mindset on anything and everything he believes in is exceptional. It is not arrogance, but a proven confidence."
