Wallabies attack is better than the All Blacks - Welsh coach

By Online Editors
Australia international Bernard Foley

Ahead of this weekend's test match against Australia, Wales assistant coach Shaun Edwards has claimed the Wallabies possess the best rugby weapons in the world.

“They have immense attacking weapons, they have the most potent attacking force in the first three phases in world rugby — even more than the All Blacks,” Edwards told Fox Sports.

“There is a multitude of outstanding backs. Karmichael Hunt debuted for the Brisbane Broncos when he was 17, which is an incredible feat.

“Whoever they play at fullback will be a potent force, whether it be Kurtley Beale etc.

Despite losing the third Bledisloe test, the All Blacks led Australia in every attacking statistical category in this year's Rugby Championship. However Israel Folau was an individual standout for Australia, topping multiple individual statistical categories.

Wales have won just two of the last 17 clashes between the two nations and will be looking to secure their first win over the Wallabies since 2008.
