Australia Coach Dan McKellar believes the Wallabies can win the RWC 2023
Australia Rugby World Cup: The Australian slumped to a 28-27 defeat to Italy last weekend, their first against the Azzurri, after making an enormous 12 changes before the game. The result incomes the Wallabies have only won two of their last eight games, making for problematic reading for their fans.

However, McKellar trusts the team has what it
takes to claim the title next year. “What you’ll find is the 33 [players] that
go to the Rugby World Cup next year are surely good enough to win
that trophy,” McKellar said. The Wallabies approved 16 penalties against Italy
and are currently the most penalized tier-one nation. However, McKellar
believes the players he picks will help recover the ill discipline when asked
how the organization plans to fix the issue.

“Selection,” he said.
“There are whom we have conversations with who we feel are
repeat offenders, and there are conversations in the background with the
coaches, and selection has an impact around that as well.
“Rugby is a complex game. You’re going to give penalties
away. But it’s the silly penalties that you can easily avoid that are hurting
us at critical moments.
“There were several offside penalties there [against Italy]
and some effort areas where we’ve got to be better.”
Taking ownership
McKellar maintains the players and coaches are taking answerability
for the poor discipline as they refuse to blame match officials.
“It’s on us. And as coaches and players, we’ve got to fix
it,” he said.
“The fix is within the room. We can’t be pointing the finger
and blaming the officials.”
The next task is a daunting trip to Dublin to face the best
side in the world, Ireland, and McKellar believes the equanimity of head coach
Dave Rennie is keeping the group tight.
“One thing with Dave Rennie is you won’t come across a more
composed individual,” McKellar said.
“The reality is we’re under a little bit of stress at the
moment, and you need a leader who will keep the group tight.

The arrangement is set to see the Wallabies hold a training

possible to do the same for the Australian men's and women's rugby sevens teams
the following year before Paris 2024, though no official plans were made.
"Our rugby team elevated the Brennus Shield for the
first time," said Delafosse, referencing Hérault Rugby's win in the Top

of the inhabitants of Montpellier."
French-Australian relations had been dull last year when the
latter's Government broke a 2016 contract that promised the distribution of 12
submarines to France.
However, the new deal indicates that the pair's affiliation
is back on track.
"Based on our common drive and the unifying power of
sport, but also the economic and development chances that sport offers us, the
Australian Prime Minister and the French President announced that enhanced
cooperation in the sport would be part of the bilateral association between
France and Australia," said Australian Ambassador to France Gillian Bird.
"Today we are witnessing a concrete example of this
cooperation."
Although the Australian exercise camp for the Rugby World
Cup will be in Montpellier, the team's official base is more than 128 miles
north in Saint-Étienne. Samoa, however, will be posted in Montpellier for the competition,
scheduled to take place from September 8 to October 28.
