Wallabies legend Tim Horan, writing for the New Zealand Herald, reflects on the victorious 1999 World Cup side.
"Trust. That was the vital ingredient which made the Wallaby side tick so well in the 1999 World Cup.
We had total confidence and belief in each other, from the quality of the management and analysis to knowing that the guy next to us on the field would always make that vital tackle or deliver that important pass and that we could rely upon the guys on our bench.
In some ways, we may have been ahead of our time. In particular, our coach, Rod Macqueen, actively coached us only half the time, leaving the rest to his assistants. This is more in line with how things are done these days rather than what was standard practice then."
