Australia's stand-in captain James Slipper is looking for his team to start well against the Springboks in Adelaide on Saturday.

For us at training, it’s been a big emphasis to take those opportunities.” “That’s a really good question and, if I knew the answer to that, I guess I’d be the head coach,” he told reporters. Preparation is everything when you come into a Test match, and I think out of all five Tests we’ve played so far this year we’ve lost the first 25 minutes in each game. The Wallabies come off a record loss to Argentina and will be searching for better form on Saturday.

The Wallabies coach has a poor win record (40%) and unless it changes against the Springboks the heat will be turned on.

A calf muscle injury cost him significant prep time before the England series, where he failed to impose himself. “Play the game in the right areas of the field. The Wallabies have chosen to stay hidden away in their Queensland base until the Thursday night before games, leaving a public relations void on the ground. We get a chance to respond against the world champions in a week or so.” Why is this so?” asked Campo, in what sounds like the first little beating of a distant drum. “We played good rugby at times during the England series, but you’ve got to win big moments.

so there was a fair bit of adversity there but from adversity, you grow stronger and that’s where I’ve pushed the team,” he told reporters. Hopefully we can put the Springboks under a bit of heat early. “So (the start of the game) has definitely been spoken about.
