Wallabies wary of ‘great challenge’

AUSTRALIA’S comprehensive defeat by England at Twickenham on Saturday has added spice to tomorrow night’s clash of the Wallabies and Munster at Thomond Park.

Coach Robbie Deans is set to freshen things up ahead of their next assignment against Italy in Florence on Saturday and several of those chosen to line out in Limerick will have greater incentive to catch his eye and that of assistant coach Jim Williams, a legendary figure in Munster rugby since his time here from 2001 to ‘08.

“Any one involved in this kind of game will see it as a stepping stone and with a Test coming up at the weekend, they’ll all be anxious to put their best foot forward,” said Williams onarrival at Shannon Airport yesterday.
