Wallabies win well
NZPA L’Aquila, Italy
The Australian Wallabies eased into their rugby tour bf Italy and France at L’Aquila yesterday with a comfortable 26-0 win over an Italian provincial XV. The Wallaby coach, Bob Dwyer, was happy with the performance of what was virtually his squad’s second XV but said after the match only five of yesterday’s players at the most would
play in tomorrow’s inaugural test against Italy at Rovigo, near Padua.
The four test certainties from yesterday’s match are the centres, Andrew Slack and Michael Hawker, the wing, Brendan Moon, and the flanker, Simon Poidevin. The full-back, Glen Ella, handed in a solid display and seems likely to make the test team if Roger Gould’s toublesome right thigh injury forces him out.
