Wallabies determined to put history of slow starts behind them

The Wallabies are determined to put a history of slow starts behind them in this weekend’s Sydney Bledisloe Cup.

This year, Wallabies coach Michael Cheika brought in a Wallabies trial to give his players a tune up and the Waratahs contingent were in finals action until just a fortnight ago as well, giving the squad vital match practice before the opener.

The importance of jumping out of the blocks in Sydney has not escaped the Wallabies and star Kurtley Beale said it would be a priority for them.

Beale said he felt the team was in better shape to make a strong impression in their first outing than the same time last year.

A key to ensuring the Wallabies start on top is drawing on the confidence they gained from last year’s third Test, a 23‑18 win in Brisbane.

The Wallabies will host the All Blacks at 10.05pm this Saturday.
