Watch the Wallabies take on the British & Irish Lions live and on-demand via Stan Sport.<\/a><\/p>\nIt comes after two tough defeats, with the last-minute loss in Melbourne particularly taking the energy out of the side.<\/p>\n
Wilson notes the team needed to take the time to process the events before turning their focus to the final Lions Test.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt probably has been one of the tougher weeks, but I think as a coaching staff and\u00a0leadership group, everyone let us on Monday have a bit of a quiet day just to\u00a0\u2013 because it does take a little bit to get over a tough loss like that and for us it\u00a0was just about going back to our preparation,\u201d he explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOn Tuesday I was really proud of the group\u00a0about what session we had.\u00a0We went there, everyone was a bit quiet, but once we went across that white line, the energy\u00a0was back. We quickly put it on the back burner and just want to focus on getting their preparation right as the week goes on.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve really tried to build it internally because\u00a0this is still such a massive match.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Wallabies have a plethora of motivating factors heading into Saturday, looking to avoid the first clean sweep against the Lions in the modern era.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do feel like it has been a tight series and we want to go out there, we want\u00a0to get the win [but] obviously sitting here at 2-0, it’s not the best situation,\u201d Wilson concedes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel as if a lot of Australians are believing in us and the support we’ve been given this week has been pretty unbelievable, and we really feel like we need to go out there and put a performance in for Australia to be proud.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want them to be truly believing in us and that’s for us to go back-to-back with performances\u00a0and we need to go out there and get that win.\u201d<\/p>\n
On top of this, scrum half Nic White will play his final game, with the Wallabies rocking fake moustaches throughout the training session in honour of the veteran half.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe’s the ultimate competitor, ultimate team man,\u201d Wilson said.\u00a0 \u201cEspecially over the last two years, he’s been\u00a0really running the non-23 and every training session he gets the boys up.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe does whatever\u00a0it takes for the team, every session, every match\u2026once he\u00a0goes across that white line, he’s a different man, he’s a competitor and the group loves him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will be missed in this gold jersey because he really does represent what it is\u00a0to be a Wallaby.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wallabies captain Harry Wilson has admitted that while this week has been one of the toughest of his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36558,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85,2500],"class_list":["post-36557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-wallabies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
