Legendary rugby league coach Wayne Bennett has confirmed he will help the Wallabies in their World Cup preparations. The Sydney Morning Herald's Jamie Pandaram reports.

"The most successful rugby league coach still in the game is being sought by Wallabies assistant Jim Williams to provide insights into how to succeed at major tournaments. Bennett told the Herald yesterday he would be happy to speak with Williams and confirmed he takes a keen interest in the Wallabies' fortunes.

"Asked what key ingredient is required to help an underdog win a major tournament, Bennett - who helped New Zealand claim a stunning Rugby League World Cup victory in 2008 - said unwavering belief was critical. ''From the head coach down to the trainer and the players, everybody has got to believe,'' Bennett said."
