Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has stated that his side ‘could be number 1 in the world.’
Anything could happen but it’s going to take a committed coach and players to achieve it.
In one of his videos on Australian rugby, Squidge Rugby spoke about Baz Luhrmann who “once said that Australia had more of nothing than anywhere else on earth” specifically referencing Australia’s playing talent.
Australian rugby gets the leftovers.

Reds coach Brad Thorn has made no apologies for dumping Super Rugby AU hero Fraser McReight in response to ongoing defensive deficiencies plaguing the Queenslanders.
Despite the Reds last week becoming the first Australian team to beat New Zealand opposition in the new Super Rugby Trans-Tasman competition with a 40-34 win over the Chiefs in Townsville, Thorn remains unhappy with Queensland’s defence.
Flanker McReight is the biggest casualty of Thorn’s determination to stop leaking points.
Man of the match in the Reds’ 19-16 Super Rugby AU grand final win over the Brumbies last month, McReight has failed to even retain his bench spot from last weekend for Friday night’s clash against Auckland’s Blues at Suncorp Stadium.

Fulltime - Reds 40 Chiefs 34
Wrap - Wow. What a crazy game. The Reds were flawless in the first spell and led 12-3 when McKenzie was sent off. The piled on three more tries and the game looked dead.
Trailing 40-8 with a 17 minutes to go, the Chiefs were electric, opening up the Reds at will in the closing stages and almost pulled off a deadset miracle.
The Reds hung on - just - and the Aussies have their first win of Super Rugby Trans-Tasman.

Wallabies centre Hunter Paisami will make a welcome return to a Queensland Reds side desperate to keep their Super Rugby Trans-Tasman hopes alive at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night.
Having lost 40-19 to the Highlanders in the first round of a new competition in which teams only play five matches before the top two meet in the final, the Reds can ill-afford another defeat when they take on the might of the Crusaders this weekend.
Paisami, who missed the Reds’ Super Rugby AU grand final win over the Brumbies with a fractured cheekbone, returns as part of the mass changes Queensland coach Brad Thorn has made to his starting side following last Friday’s 21-point loss.
