In his column in the Sydney Morning Herald, Wallaby legend Matt Burke wonders if Australia head coach Robbie Deans might have accidentally stumbled across his best team.
"Sometimes the best laid plans go so far off the tangent that you end up thinking, 'This just might work.'
"For the Wallabies the question could be, 'Is this our best team taking the field tomorrow?' The answer could be yes, due to all the injuries they have suffered during the pool stages that have forced their hand at the selection table.
"Without spending too much tomorrow, the Wallabies will account for Russia and pick up the bonus point. They will want to finish this game with a strong performance and take that into the quarter-finals. What they will want to do is control the controllables in this game."
