Australia will be competitive against the British and Irish Lions in 2025 despite poor recent results, says Rugby Australia chief Phil Waugh.
The Wallabies will offer serious competition to the British and Irish Lions next summer, says Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh.It was their third defeat from four games in this year's Rugby Championship and follows a miserable pool-stage exit at last year's Rugby World Cup."It is not nearly where we need it to be, but if we keep progressing at the speed with which we have moved things in the last six months, then there is plenty of time.
Australia, who defeated Argentina the week before, led 20-3 in Santa Fe before capitulating in the second half. "It is a team that is, and I hate using the word 're-building', but it is a team that is re-setting, and it takes experiences in big moments to get better," Waugh added."But there is context that is important... we are not the most experienced team in world rugby, and we are building that experience."
