Rupert Guinness pops along to a Wallabies scrum session as the competition for places on their November tour heats up in The Sydney Morning Herald.
"It might be the off-season for the Wallabies but for scrum guru Patricio Noriega and ''the new generation'' of tight-five talent, it is still heads down and bums up as they prepare for the World Cup year.
"With the Wallabies' spring tour Tests against the All Blacks, Wales, England, Italy and France to come, scrum coach Noriega is leaving no stone unturned to ensure Australia's stocks of elite second- and front-rowers are all versed on a common approach in the art of scrummaging.
"Until the Wallabies leave for Hong Kong on October 23 for their Test against the All Blacks a week later, Noriega is taking scrummaging classes for those in contention for the 40-man train-on squad that will be named on Sunday week. The final touring party, the number of which has yet to be decided, will be named on October 14."
