There's no 'I' in 'team'

Greg Growden believes that the Wallabies can beat South Africa in Brisbane on Saturday, but only if they play as a team, in The Sydney Morning Herald.

"It is obvious why the All Blacks are standing tall at the top of the Tri Nations ladder. They play as a team.

"They do everything as a team. They are there in numbers. They back up. They support each other. They perform as a finely tuned ensemble.

"The All Blacks know when to lift the intensity, how to help each other to ensure they are in control of the combat zone. And when they reveal an opposition weakness, they know how to be there in numbers. Just watch how many times the swarming All Blacks score tries, with attacking options either side of the scorer. That is confidence. That is self-belief. That is being part of a real team."
