Former Wallaby Matt Burke believes that it's time their pack stood up for themselves and their backline in The Sydney Morning Herald.
"I once played in a Newcastle back line that boasted England internationals Jonny Wilkinson, Toby Flood, Jamie Noon and Mathew Tait. When we were able to get the ball the results were devastating. The only regret was that we never really experienced success.
"The reason for that was because we didn't have the right balance between the forwards and backs. Our forwards were limited. The product of that is that, as a back, you have to make something out of nothing because of the inconsistencies of the delivery up front. Counter-attack becomes a weapon as it is ''free ball''.

"This is the unenviable position the Wallabies find themselves. They might have won back-to-back games in Hong Kong and Cardiff, but a lot of soul-searching has taken place during the week. There is a way of winning, and then there is a way of winning well."
