We didn’t want to show too much before the Rugby World Cup.

Those were the words of Wallabies prop Taniela Tupou revealing the Wallabies will head into the event with a different game plan.

Tupou says they played France with a different game plan which was made just for that game and only had a week to look at it.

He says at training, they have been working on their game plan for the RWC and it will be interesting coming out against Georgia with a different game plan.

He adds for them to be able to play the way that coach Eddie Jones wants them to play, they need to be fit.

Tupou says all that has been done and they look forward to the tough challenges ahead of them at the RWC against Georgia, Fiji, Portugal and Wales.

The Wallabies fell to their fifth straight defeat from as many starts when they lost 41-17 to France last weekend.

The Wallabies will take on Georgia at 4am next Sunday in their RWC opener.

They will play the Fiji Water Flying Fijians on the 18th of next month at 3.45am.

The RWC kicks off next Saturday with the All Blacks taking on hosts France in Paris at 7am.
