Wilson Promises Wallabies Will ‘Throw Bodies Around’ in Must-Win Lions Test
VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, JUL 25 – The Wallabies' pack sees three key changes as they aim for at least parity after a first-half run metre deficit of 82 to 237 against the Lions, coach Schmidt said.
- On Saturday, the Australian Wallabies welcomed reinforcements with Valetini and Skelton returning from injury, and Wilson vowed to `throw their bodies around`.
- After their 27-19 defeat in Brisbane, the Wallabies managed just 82 run metres to the Lions' 237, making parity essential to keep the series alive.
- In a tactical tweak, Schmidt increased forward numbers by opting for six forwards on the bench instead of the usual 5-3 split, saying Valetini may not play the full 80 minutes and highlighting the need for collision power from Valetini and Skelton.
- In Melbourne, pubs and cafes filled with British & Irish Lions supporters, and Andy Farrell called it `the biggest game of lives`.
- Looking to a potential decider in Sydney, Wilson said Australia will show their true selves, while Schmidt demanded more intensity to keep the series alive.
