Howley wary ‘clinical’ Australia will want to put a marker down
It has been far from plain sailing for the Wallabies during their European tour preparations, a five-game schedule that starts against the Barbarians at Twickenham on Saturday.
Kurtley Beale was dropped for the last two Rugby Championship Tests against Argentina and New Zealand after becoming embroiled in a high-profile row with Wallabies business manager Di Patston, who has since resigned. The 25-year-old was fined £24,640 after being found guilty of a serious breach of the Australian RUs code of conduct.
