The Australian's Bret Harris is looking for the forthcoming tour of Britain to answer some age old questions about Australia's rugby mentality.
"The Wallabies' upcoming two-game tour of Britain could be easily dismissed as a mere footnote in the history of Australian rugby.
The matches against the Barbarians and Wales have been tagged at the end of a World Cup campaign, partly to raise revenue following the Wallabies' shortened domestic international program this year.
But this tour is much more relevant than that, which is reflected in the composition of the 26-man touring party that will be announced today.
A number of Wallabies have been ruled out of the tour because of injuries, including Rocky Elsom, Quade Cooper, Wycliff Palu, Drew Mitchell, Pat McCabe and Sekope Kepu."
