Drew Mitchell expects Wallabies to bounce back from heavy defeats to All Blacks

They will need to bounce back somewhat better than they promised in the Bledisloe 2

The wallabys play their best rugby in the days leading up to a test match.

Genia is past his best, and Cheikas habbit of returning formerly discarded players is doing nothing for their future, blood some young players and maybe discover a gem, keep returning to the past and gain nothing.

Folau (ankle), as well as David Pocock (neck), Taniela Tupou (hamstring) and Nick Phipps (ribs) all remain in varying degrees of doubt for the clash ahead of Thursdays team announcement.Thats some serious weaponry unavailable to a side with questionable depth, especially Pocock.As usual it will start up front, initially anyway and the Boks will be looking to capitalise there after Mendoza. But Genie is the most important player in gold for me. If he fires, and we have seen him to this in Dunedin behind a beaten pack he can give Foley confidence, which he really needs.
