Wallabies outside centre Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii has praised the decision making of his captain, Harry Wilson, after his team\u2019s thrilling 28-24 triumph over Argentina in Townsville on Saturday.<\/p>\n
After notching a shock 38-22 victory over the Springboks in their Rugby Championship opener in Johannesburg last month, Australia delivered another competitive performance against the world champions in the corresponding fixture in Cape Town before suffering a 30-22 defeat.<\/p>\n
Joe Schmidt\u2019s troops looked destined for another loss after Juan Cruz Mallia slotted a 79th minute penalty in Townsville but Wilson would not surrender and despite his team receiving three kickable penalties in the game\u2019s dying moments \u2013 which would have clinched a 24-24 draw \u2013 the number eight instructed replacement fly-half James O\u2019Connor to kick for touch as the Wallabies<\/a> went in search of victory.<\/p>\n Gamble paid dividends<\/p>\n That gamble paid dividends after the hooter had sounded when Angus Bell scored the match-winning try for the home side, who have improved considerably under the guidance of head coach Schmidt over the past two months.<\/p>\n And former rugby league star Suaalii<\/a> hailed both Schmidt<\/a> and Wilson<\/a> for their excellent leadership in the Wallabies camp since he joined the set-up ahead of last year\u2019s end-of-year tour to Europe.<\/p>\n \u201cIt starts with Joe,\u201d Suaalii told reporters after the Test in Townsville. \u201cIt\u2019s all about belief and trust within the group. We want to die on our feet. You don\u2019t want to go on our knees.<\/p>\n \u201cEverything\u2019s about us, you know? Getting better each game and for us to go to the corner instead of going for the three. It just shows how much belief we have in our group.<\/p>\n \u201cWe come out there with the belief that we can win this game and credit to Harry Wilson for going to the corner and backing us as a team.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s such a leader within our group. We all look to him to make the calls when the pressure is on the line.<\/p>\n
