Wallabies back Kiss as Australia chase fifth straight win
MENDOZA: New Australia coach Les Kiss has got the seal of approval from his players as the Wallabies look to extend their winning streak to five matches when they take on Argentina in the second test in Mendoza on Saturday.
New Australia coach Les Kiss has received the approval of his players as they aim to extend their winning streak to five matches against Argentina in the second test in Mendoza, according to speedster winger Max Jorgensen. Jorgensen, speaking during a virtual press conference on Tuesday, praised Kiss for his rapid imprint on the job since taking over from Joe Schmidt last month.
He noted that Kiss has been a "world-class coach" and has won his first three games, significantly improving the team's performance. This positive change comes after the Wallabies had lost nine of their previous 10 tests under Schmidt. Despite losing the Nations Championship to Italy in July, Jorgensen emphasized the team's focus on their process and their own performance, steering clear of outside distractions.
The upcoming match, just under 13 months before Australia hosts the World Cup, is a critical task for the team to secure their fifth consecutive win.
