That’s how they saw progress against New Zealand in the last round two weeks ago, even though they were whipped 42-10 at Eden Park.
Beside Lolesio will be debutant Hamish Stewart, who has more than 100 Super Rugby games and was invited to his first Wallabies camp six years ago. His defensive prowess is certain to be tested.
