The Wallabies won barely half of their line-outs in the 25-17 win over the world champions at Adelaide Oval on Saturday, with most of the trouble occurring in the first half as hooker Folau Fainga’a’s throws repeatedly missed their targets. While SA were unable to make Australia pay in Adelaide, loose forward Jed Holloway said fixing the line-out is a top priority before the rematch against the Springboks in Sydney on Saturday.
Despite a record 48-17 hiding by Argentina in San Juan, Australia find themselves in the rare position of being in contention for the Rugby Championship title as the defending champions the All Blacks and Springboks struggle.
