Greg Gowden, appearing in the Dominion Post, speaks to a bullish Wallabies captain James Horwill who is eyeing the world number one spot.
"The Wallabies stumbled well short of winning a World Cup trophy but have set their sights on being the world's top team by this time next year.
After defeating Wales on Saturday, Wallabies captain James Horwill said Australia's goal for next year was to take the No.1 ranking from the All Blacks. And he pointed to the calm professionalism his team had shown against Wales as a sign the Wallabies were again on the up.
It was an emotional night for the Welsh, as they farewelled one of their most celebrated wingers, Shane Williams, but the Wallabies managed to keep their heads and showed a ruthless streak in the second half to put away quality opponents who have the potential to win the Six Nations in a few months' time."
