Two time Rugby World Cup Champions, the Wallabies are only focused on themselves and not Fiji, Wales or England.

Only 14 days remain for the Rugby World Cup and Wallabies inside centre, Matt Giteau predicts that Pool A will be tougher than what people are expecting.

While Wallabies legend George Smith has tipped Australia and Fiji to qualify from Pool A, Giteau says this may not be so easy to achieve.

Giteau made one of the most extraordinary international comebacks in rugby by being named for his third World Cup after being ditched by Robbie Deans in 2011.

Officially recognised as European rugby’s best player, Giteau is glad to be under a coach who believes in him.

The Wallabies last won the World Cup 16 years ago.

Meanwhile Henry Speight and Taqele Nayaravoro have been named to play for the Wallabies in their one-off test against the USA Eagles tomorrow.

Speight will start at outside centre while Taqele Nayaravoro is likely to make his debut after being listed on the bench.

They will meet USA at 11.30pm tomorrow.
