Must win game

THE Tri Nations might be out of reach, but James O’Connor says Dave Rennie won’t be using the Wallabies’ final Test of the year as an opportunity to simply blood the next generation of talent.

The 2020 has been a rebuilding year of sorts, but with four of the Wallabies’ six Tests against the All Blacks and silverware up for grabs until now it’s given very little scope for Rennie to “experiment” and cast an eye to the future.

Sure, Rennie may have handed 10 players debuts but that’s no outrageously large number, particularly in the year after a World Cup campaign which often sees a mass exodus to the north. But given the Wallabies need to start winning regularly and the fact they haven’t won their final Test of a year since 2013, it’s more than likely that Rennie will roll out what he believes will be his best 23 for now.
