Reports say England want referee to focus on ‘rucks’
Wilson suggests complaints are English ‘whingeing’
Australia’s captain, Harry Wilson, dismissed accusations his team are guilty of illegal breakdown tactics on the eve of England’s meeting with the Wallabies at Twickenham on Saturday and suggested it was English “whingeing”.
The England head coach, Steve Borthwick, reportedly raised the issue of Australian players frequently joining rucks from the side with the referee, Nika Amashukeli, in a pre-match meeting, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Wilson, however, batted away claims of illegality and compromised player safety due to the alleged infringements while the England scrum coach, Tom Harrison, declined to confirm if the issue had been raised by the hosts.
