导出博客文章The Wallabies have rejected suggestions they will prioritise a historic grand
slam win over this weekends clash with France, with Michael Cheika arguing every
decision made is done with the sole goal of winning Tests.Cheika is expected to
make sweeping changes to the starting XV for Saturdays Test at Stade de France,
with several stars expected to be rested for the all-important fixtures against
Ireland and England to follow.Victories in those two matches would secure a
first grand slam since 1984 - currently the Wallabies only successful grand slam
result from nine attempts.Cheika knows how valuable that success would be for
this team and for Australian rugby, but the thought of going into any Test match
half-cocked rankles him.Im not going to just blank the chat of a grand slam and
everything like that. I know thats very important, he said in Paris on
Monday.But every time we play Test footy its probably the be all and end all for
us at this level.I know that probably looks sideways, but its not club footy,
its different. Youve got to make sure that whatever decisions we make, theyre
all made with the intent of winning a Test match.Cheika has memories of his last
spring tour, in 2014, where a first-up victory over Wales was quickly forgotten
when they were stunned by France the following week.Cheika believes his team
lost focus and, as a result, that defeat fed into losses to Ireland and England
as the tour ended in disappointment.He says the lessons learned on that trip,
and a get-out-of-jail, wake-up-call win over Scotland last weekend, will ensure
his team isnt underdone on Saturday.As much as we felt like we were probably in
the middle of (playing our best footy) last week (against Scotland), we didnt -
because our performance focus wasnt there, Cheika said.If we start thinking
about the bigger picture issues well lose sight of what weve got to do
tomorrow.I can assure you from having coached over here and now having coached
teams coming here, that if you take your eye off the ball for a day and you rock
up to Stade de France in front of 80,000 French people, youll go home
accordingly.We want to be ready to play some better football than we played
against Scotland.Cheika is loath to refer to any prospective changes this week
as part of a rotation, but foreshadowed there would be a different starting
lineup to that which faced Scotland - not least of all because of a tour-ending
knee injury to key lock Adam Coleman.New faces - potentially including some of
the eight who joined the squad in Paris after completing Barbarians duties -
will get a chance to prove themselves in the Test arena.I dont think we played
as well against Scotland as we did against Wales and I think that some other
players should have the opportunity to get in there and have a go at it, Cheika
said.
