Wallabies share details of gameplan to nullify 'impressive' Caleb Clarke

The Wallabies have outlined their game plan to contain All Blacks weapon Caleb Clarke in Saturday night's must-win Bledisloe Cup clash in Sydney - and it's a full-on 15-man operation.

Wallabies utility back Reece Hodge says he watched the Super Rugby Aotearoa and Clarke was carving up then, carving in the north-south game and the common theme there is, they can't give him too much space.

Hodge believes it's not only the backline's responsibility to keep Clarke in check, but the entire team and says defensive line speed and squaring up at the collision was critical in nullifying the 21-year-old sensation.

Used off the bench in the first two Tests, Hodge has put his hand up to mark up directly on Clarke.

The All Blacks battle the Wallabies at 8.45pm Saturday in Sydney.
