Wallabies play down decoy claims

The Australian camp today dismissed claims by England coach Clive Woodward that the Wallabies use decoy runners as a deliberate ploy to block defenders.

Woodward reignited a long-running feud with Wallabies coach Eddie Jones by claiming Joe Roff’s try in Australia’s opening World Cup game against Argentina came as a result of a “blatant midfield block” from Matt Burke.
