The 10th-ranked Wallabies are wisely opting against making any bold promises ahead of only the third grand slam tour of the UK since 1984.
Joseph Sua'ali'i and his Wallabies teammates are preparing for a grand slam tour with Tests against England , Wales , Scotland and Ireland .The new-era Wallabies are refusing to make any bold promises or predictions as they embrace the challenge of only the third grand slam tour in 40 years.
In 2009, Robbie Deans' side opened their quest with an 18-9 triumph over England at Twickenham before a last-gasp Brian O'Driscoll try earned Ireland a 20-20 draw in Dublin to scupper Australia's hopes of sweeping to a grand slam.The Wallabies beat Wales 28-9 in Cardiff on the way to completing a historic grand slam on their tour of Britain and Ireland in 1984.
The 10th-ranked Wallabies open up against England at Twickenham on November 10 and Cron says that is the first big focus for a squad he admits contains players still learning the ropes at international level. "And I'm very confident that they'll be competitive and we'll find out if they've got enough or not good enough — but they'll be ready.
