Wallabies not ‘scared’ of Springboks

As it stands on the current World Rugby rankings, the Springboks have a healthy lead in the No 1 spot, while the Wallabies are dwelling down in seventh place.

However, similarly to the All Blacks, Australia do seem to be enjoying what is referred to in football as a ‘new manager bounce’.

With new coach Les Kiss at the helm, the Wallabies have produced consecutive victories over Japan (35–32 in Tokyo, 56–17 in Townsville) and an away win over Argentina (27–21 in Mendoza), although that three-game winning streak recently ended in a hard-fought 28–28 draw against Argentina.
