The Wallabies ought to leave their best player out of the opening Bledisloe Cup fixture against the All Blacks at Eden Park, according to an analysis piece in the Sydney Morning Herald.
The newspaper notes that a victory over New Zealand would give Australia a lift in confidence ahead of the World Cup.
Even so, the piece suggests Australia could be wiser to set its sights on the second Bledisloe Cup meeting, which takes place in Sydney.
