Joe Schmidt says he'll swing Wallabies axe again

Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt has forecast at least five changes for Australia's last Test before their Rugby Championship campaign begins.
The Wallabies recorded consecutive wins for the first time since 2021 when they defeated a plucky Wales 36-28 in Melbourne on Saturday night.
Australia continued their unbeaten home streak against the Welsh, dating back to 1969 after adding to their 25-16 victory in Sydney last week.
Veteran prop James Slipper filled in as captain, replacing injured Queensland star Liam Wright.
The Wallabies' next assignment is a clash with Georgia - who stunned Eddie Jones' Japan team on Saturday - in Sydney next Saturday night.
Their next match after that will be a litmus test against world champions South Africa at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on August 10.
"We made five changes this week and there could be that many again," Schmidt said.
"You're trying to build cohesion and it's a little bit of a more difficult equilibrium that you're trying to find between the continuation of confidence and then offering opportunity.
"We're trying to build a real squad mentality and have confidence in the players across the board."
Schmidt was delighted to begin his tenure at the Wallabies with two-straight wins, but is under no illusion there are still major areas to improve on.
"We'll break it down and just say 'how good were we in the break down?'," he said.
"Just how good were we in our connected line speed?
"How good were we when they put the ball in the air and and we were going up after it and getting support around that."
Slipper believes the Wallabies are back on the right track following last year's Jones-led capitulation at the World Cup, which included a big defeat to Wales.
"We are happy with the two results that we've gotten, but we understand that there's so much improvement in us so we will be searching for ways to get better," Slipper said.
"And that's probably the balance we're after.
"I wouldn't say we're content but we're confident that we're heading in the right direction."

The Team That Reclaimed My Stolen Cryptocurrency/ Hack Savvy Tech
As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000. I couldn’t believe that what seemed like an impossible task had become a reality. Now, I wholeheartedly recommend HACK SAVVY TECH to fellow students and anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. They provided me with both the expertise and the support I needed, restoring not only my finances but also my faith in the possibility of recovering from such a terrible experience.

Go to commentsMy name is Paul few month ago after I lost my Solana to fraud, I was absolutely terrified. But Supreme Peregrine Recovery was amazing. Their staff was prompt in their response and offered knowledgeable direction over the entire recuperation process. They put a lot of effort into tracking down the money I misplaced, and they kept me informed at every stage. With their commitment and knowledge, I was able to get my Solana back. Thanks very much for their assistance.
