The reset for Australian rugby begins tomorrow night, nine months after the Wallabies disastrous World Cup campaign that saw them fail to make the knockout stages of the tournament.

The Wallabies take on Wales in Sydney, the first of three tests in two weeks, under new coach Joe Schmidt and a new skipper in Liam Wright.

Only a handful of players remain from the World Cup squad, and selectors will be hoping tomorrow marks a new dawn for a team that has underperformed for too long.
