Wallabies eager to fix lineout after first half woes

Wallabies lock Lukhan Salakaia-Loto believes the forward pack needs to nail their set-pieces if they wish to upset the All Blacks ahead of the second Test.

In windy and wild conditions, the Wallabies struggled to find their mark at line-out time as they looked to establish themselves at Eden Park last Saturday.

In their first three lineouts of the game inside the All Blacks half, they failed to deal with the pressure, committing two handling errors before an errant throw by Brandon Paenga-Amosa gave the Kiwis the turnover.

Whilst they were near-perfect for the rest of the game, Salakaia-Loto admits they can't afford to pass up opportunities inside the All Blacks half, feeling like they 'let the backs down.'

The All Blacks face the Wallabies at 7.05pm Saturday at Eden Park.
