They seem to have a great synchronicity in each of their teams about how they wanted to play their game, and I think that really came through in the comp.

They certainly dominated the comp right through, and you've seen that at the table at the end.

I think what we've seen from the Australian teams is a slow...

build a form particularly for ourselves and the force a couple of up and down performances across the board but I do think when I look at it closely there's a lot of individuals within each of the teams finding some nice form at the right time so it probably maybe hasn't transferred right through into team performances but I you know I do feel there's a there's a lot of players that have you know starting to really find their feet so you know it's a

We've got some good depth in this country.

Every team in the world will carry injuries.

We've got to manage ours, but I do think there's enough players throughout our four teams that have put their hand up and said that we're ready for the challenges ahead.

They certainly do.

They certainly offer something very green at the moment, Zach for sure, but he's just hungry to try and learn the game.

Joseph had a few injuries, but you can see and everyone knows he's a class player.

Joe Schmidt, he's in charge of this first period and he'll select a squad for the Nations Cup and I'll take over after that, so

I get a chance to sit and watch and see how those boys go before I put my little bit on top of what's been built there already.

But yeah, they're amongst a lot of players that we feel that can serve the Wallabies well.

I only picked my team after the July series.

Joe will run his...

chats to me on what he's going to be doing and that's all good.

So there's a nice synergy there.

It's going to be a transition that's nice and smooth.

Um, so certainly I'll have to look through it, but, um, you know, in terms of preparing that team, that'll be for Joe and his coaches at the moment to do for those three tests.

And then I'll, I'll shadow one of the test matches a bit closer.
