Greg Growden reflects on the exciting future facing the Wallabies' young guns in The Sydney Morning Herald.
"About 20 minutes after they had kept the Welsh dragon at bay, a key member of the Wallabies brat pack headed back on to the Millennium Stadium pitch.
"While the rest of the team congratulated themselves in the dressing room for at last showing they could back up a special victory with a gritty triumph rather than falling in a heap, Wallabies goalkicker James O'Connor and coach Robbie Deans had some pressing duties to attend to.

"Deans stood directly under the goalposts, while O'Connor, with kicking tee and ball in hand, moved to different parts of the field to practice his shots at goal. For about 15 minutes, Deans retrieved the ball after O'Connor had guided them through the posts. In between shots, Deans would point out where O'Connor had to work on his approach and follow through. Eventually, everyone was happy, and they disappeared back to the rooms."
