WALLABIES’ TIME TO ACT

THE under-achieving Wallabies are just as fed up with hearing about their potential as a frustrated Australian public.

Fresh off yet another disappointing Bledisloe Cup series against New Zealand, who trounced Australia 3-0, the Wallabies are bracing for the might of world champions South Africa in a Rugby Championship clash on the Gold Coast on Sunday.

Utility back Reece Hodge, a strong chance to start against the Springboks at Cbus Super Stadium, said there had been “enough talk”.

“We were reviewing a lot of the same things that we have after game one and game two,” Hodge said.

“I’m sure the fans have a sense of ‘Groundhog Day’ as well and it’s definitely the feeling within the group.

“We need to improve quite a few parts of our game – it’s time for action now.”

If Hodge plays it will be his 50th Wallabies appearance.
