Baxter determined to make amends

AFTER the horrors of Twickenham, Al Baxter is desperate for a chance to redeem himself against Ireland on Saturday.

Last weekend in London, Australia’s scrum was annihilated and, though the entire front row was savaged by their English hosts, it was Baxter who suffered most in press reports.

Adding to the agony, the tight-head prop was sin-binned 12 minutes from time by French referee Joel Jutge who claimed he had pulled down one too many scrums for his liking.
