The Wallabies have arrived in England for the start of the spring tour, under intense pressure to deliver after their nine-Test apprenticeship under Schmidt.
The Wallabies touched down in London at the weekend, swapping the Australian spring for the cold, hard reality of their November tour of Great Britain and Ireland.
In Europe, this tour is being billed as an audition for the British and Irish Lions series. The Wallabies have had their credentials heavily questioned by the British media, but they have a golden opportunity to silence their doubters.A difficult first date England possess class throughout their squad, with starting five-eighth Marcus Smith bringing imagination and innovation to his back line, unlocking brilliant young winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, who combines international rugby with his medical studies.If England have a weakness, it is in their front row, which has been shorn of Joe Marler. The veteran questioned New Zealand’s haka on social media last week, then subsequently retired.
Unlike the games against Scotland, Ireland and England which are all expected to sell out, there are still plenty of tickets available for Cardiff, which tells its own story.
