The Wallabies missed 66 tackles in two games. This is their plan to fix it

Australia prop Angus Bell stated that the Wallabies' recent defensive struggles were caused by effort issues rather than flawed structures. Following a heavy Bledisloe Cup series defeat where Australia missed 66 tackles and conceded 93 points against New Zealand, Bell explained that the squad plans to fix their defence by slowing opposition ball and disrupting rucks ahead of their clash against England at Twickenham.

The Wallabies enter the London Test aiming to replicate their dramatic 2024 win at Twickenham, with winger Max Jorgensen noting the squad draws confidence from past success at the venue despite losing there last year. Bell emphasized the need to adapt to England's distinct playing style across a full 80-minute performance under head coach Les Kiss and defensive assistant Scott McLeod.
