Gaffney backs under-fire Gregan

AUSTRALIA coach Alan Gaffney insists under-fire captain George Gregan has the Wallabies’ support to lead the team out of their slump with a victory over England on Saturday.

The calls for Gregan, the world’s most capped player, to be axed have been fierce since the 26-16 defeat by France in Marseille last Saturday.

Under the headline ‘Bye George’, Sydney’s Daily Telegraph called for the 32-year-old to be axed for Saturday’s Cook Cup clash at Twickenham.
