1. Get the Lolesio-Wright-Suaalii axis humming
This trio are without a shadow of doubt the most interesting part of the Wallabies attack, and the hopes of the home side against the Lions will depend on how quickly they get on the same wavelength. Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii could also be used as a midfield crashball merchant, but that’s not really what the Wallabies started to embed on the end-of-season tour.
Where Joe Schmidt really wants to get Suaalii is in a bit of space as the second ball carrier, with Tom Wright coming up into the frontline off No.10 Noah Lolesio to create a bit of defensive panic before looking for Suaalii on his shoulder. The Wallabies are happy to run this play from deep as well, and one of the attributes that Suaalii showed during Super Rugby Pacific was the ability to maintain top-end pace over distance due to his long stride. There are obvious ways to use Suaalii – restarts and so forth – but good teams plan for that. Wright’s play-making ability is the key – he’s such an important player for the Wallabies.
