Elsom calls on referee to watch breakdown

Australia skipper Rocky Elsom has urged South African referee Mark Lawrence to adopt a zero-tolerance policy at the breakdown when his side meet New Zealand tonight to ensure a free-flowing contest.

The Wallabies scored a points decision over South Africa in the tackle-zone in Bloemfontein last weekend, allowing their fleet-footed backs to run riot on the way to a historic victory on the highveld.
