Wallabies defy Osaka red, scramble for Kiss debut win
[]
Starts at 60
“Once we had the red, we knew we were under the pump and got a bit lucky that it was halftime,” Wilson said.
“The coaches gave us a good plan of how to play with the red card for the next 11 minutes, and when we got that second lock back we had that confidence.
Up 14-7 and within range of scoring again, the Wallabies were instead down a man and then level at halftime.
After six straight losses it was the Wallabies’ second consecutive win, but far less fluent than what they produced against Italy in Perth in Joe Schmidt’s farewell last month.
“To get a win here in these conditions, we’re happy but there’s areas to improve next week,” Wilson said.
