The Sydney Morning Herald's Spiro Zavos analyses Australia head coach Robbie Deans' task of transferring the nation's success in Super Rugby across to the Wallabies.
"The long march for World Cup glory for the Wallabies reaches its first staging point tomorrow afternoon with the Test against Samoa.
The Wallabies will play four more Tests, with home and away matches against New Zealand and South Africa, as the march continues, then Robbie Deans will name his 30 players for the World Cup.
They will carry high hopes, no matter what happens in the Tri Nations tournament. It is a truism that the Wallabies have played above their weight, in terms of world rankings, in previous World Cups. With two titles out of six tournaments, the Wallabies are the second most successful World Cup team, behind the Springboks, with two titles in four."
