The Wallabies have a poor recent record against Ireland and has no right to go into the Sydney Test with high expectations, but they need to take a stand.

The Wallabies begin their Test season against world No.3 Ireland on Saturday, and they’re set to do it with a halves pairing who’ve never played together.

Andy Farrell has coached against the Wallabies more than any other over the last two years, with the Lions and Ireland. And he is a big fan.
