Australia were frustrated at times by referee Romain Poite, but they only had themselves to blame for the loss at Murrayfield
Australia did not get the same impact from their French foreign legion as their Japan-based teammates in their defeat to
Scotland at Murrayfield, but the Wallabies should persevere with overseas selections.
With Quade Cooper, Samu Kerevi and Sean McMahon “defecting”, in coach Dave Rennie’s language, to rejoin their Japanese clubs, France-based second-rowers Rory Arnold and Will Skelton and utility back Kurtley Beale were included for the three-Test tour of
Britain.
