“It will be a nice week to get back there but there’s only one game in town and that’s about the footy and trying to help these guys prepare as best they can.” The Wallabies have won six and lost six of Schmidt’s dozen games in charge, finishing last in the Rugby Championship, but dramatically beat England 42-37 in Twickenham and demolished Wales 52-20 in Cardiff before last Saturday’s setback in Murrayfield, when his side missed 34 tackles.
“I think we’re building a little bit of momentum. What I’m hoping is that people do see it as a real contest next July. Our skill execution was a bit off today,” admitted Schmidt after the Scotland result.
