No doubt it is their achilles heel. Wonder why they dont try and import some talent?

Michael Cheika's reconstruction of Australia's scrum is set to be aided by renowned scrum guru, according to reports. 

The Wallabies set-piece struggled in their last Test of the year against England at Twickenham, prompting a response from Chieka to address the area.

Andrew Blades is already installed as Cheika's forwards coach but some more in-depth expertise is now set to be brought in.

Sources have hinted that the addition will be a big name, with Cheika looking to finalise his staff next month.

Sorting this out is non negoitable if they want to be RWC contenders. In addition it is all they need to restore the Bledisloe to Oz. I would add in a decent lock as a requirement.

The Wallabies suffered Test defeats to France, Ireland and England while on tour in November, along with winning against Wales. (Nothing a good scrum cant change!)

You can't make an omelet without eggs, no matter how skilled the chef.

Yeah they have plenty of good backs but forwards remain a problem. Some refs can't get the scrum calls right so Oz has some hope.

Al Baxter is the favourite to teach them how to pretend they are scrumming
