Wallabies 'circle the wagons' to excise 10 poor minutes a game WALLABIES coach Ewen McKenzie will "circle the wagons" following the team's record 38-12 loss to the Springboks at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Saturday night as they prepare for a must-win match with Argentina in Perth on Saturday night. It was the Wallabies' first loss to the Springboks in Brisbane since 1971 and their first ever defeat to them at their fortress at Suncorp Stadium. It was also their fourth loss in a row this year. When the Wallabies play Argentina in their last Test on Australian soil this year, they will be playing to avoid the Rugby Championship wooden spoon. "Right now a win is probably the most important thing for us," McKenzie said. We will circle the wagons and have a good look at that for next week. The ambition is good. The attitude is good. But if you actually look at the games as they have panned out, we have been level-pegging in all of them and then there has been ... 10 minutes where we have basically let them off the hook. Two quick tries or a yellow card or whatever, there has been a moment and we have lost our way. There is a football solution there, but we have to tough those moments out too. There is a trend which we need to address. The Wallabies were outmuscled by the Springboks up front, particularly at the scrum and at the breakdown where the South Africans physically imposed themselves. McKenzie has called second-rower Sitaleki Timani and backrower Dave Dennis into the squad following injuries to James Horwill and Jake Schatz, who will be sidelined for six weeks with a knee injury, and there is a chance they could be pitchforked into the Pumas Test. Dave Dennis was involved in the original camp. He's got some idea where we are going," McKenzie said. Sita hasn't been involved, but where we are at the moment we are digging deep in our second-row area. We are not going to rule anything in or out. The Pumas are expected to provide the Wallabies with another physical contest, which McKenzie believes is just what they need. "I've coached a couple of those guys when I was in France," McKenzie said. They have some great combos. I know exactly what they're good at. They have a very abrasive style. Very confrontational up front. It is not an easy game. It is the sort of game we need at the moment. We need a physical challenge to get ourselves right. You've got to be able to defuse how they play. High balls and things like that. They have been shifting the ball more in recent times. There is a bit more attack there, but they will be confrontational. Their scrum will be all right. They will be good at the breakdown. The breakdown is where the game is at the moment. The Springboks outscored the Wallabies four tries to nil, including three by their backs. While McKenzie was pleased with the opportunities the Wallabies created in attack, he was frustrated they did not capitalise on them. We have made more line-breaks, we have broken more tackles, we have run more metres. We have had more positive advantage line and speed of ball," McKenzie said. We win all those categories every week. We kick less than our opponents. But our turnover rate is too high. Simple as that. McKenzie said he was still keen for the Wallabies to play an attacking style of rugby even if it was risky. "I want us to invest in playing skilful rugby and using the ball," McKenzie said. It is a question of how quickly you get there. s"We need to persist with that or go back and have a look and say okay, what's winning rugby at the moment. I think our guys want to back themselves in the skills stakes and keep going. I don't see this as insurmountable by any stretch. It's just a matter of getting the focus on the right things. The simplest thing for us is to concentrate on our line integrity. In the last three Tests we have improved our line integrity. That's why our tackle percentages have been much better. The minute we move away from that and we probably did it three times last night it cost us in different ways.
