Wallabies to use 'Lions game plan' to break Bledisloe curse

Wallabies to use 'Lions game plan' to break Bledisloe curse

The Wallabies will follow the British & Irish Lions’ blueprint to beat the All Blacks, declaring they will pressure the world champions in every facet of the game.

The World Champions were held to a stunning 1‑1 draw in the three‑Test series against the Lions in June, and their frailties against rushing defence and sweeping counter‑attacks were exposed.

Australian winger Dane Haylett‑Petty is confident the Wallabies can have similar success in the Bledisloe Cup series.

Haylett- Petty says the Lions showed that the All Blacks are definitely beatable, and at different points of last year Australia’s attack was some of the best in the world.

He says they have got the attack that can test the All Blacks and any team in World Rugby.

The Wallabies will play the All Blacks next Saturday at 10pm in the Bledisloe Cup.
