No sweeping changes for Wallabies

Australia

coach Michael Cheika may hope to try out new players and give others a rest against Italy on Saturday, but the Wallabies can ill-afford sweeping changes as they battle to return to winning form, utility back Matt Toomua has said.

The Wallabies slumped to their 10th defeat in 13 tests with a 9-6 loss to Wales over the weekend, sparking a fierce reaction in Australia where rugby pundits called for Cheika’s sacking a year out from the World Cup in Japan. (Reuters)
