This is professional rugby, we expect a whole lot more from the Wallaby jersey but we also know that adverse conditions create frailty.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We know that the Wallabies went in with a game plan and weren&#x27;t able to execute it as well as they wanted to. But it doesn&#x27;t mean that they tried any less and it doesn&#x27;t mean that they&#x27;re clueless and it most certainly doesn&#x27;t mean they were against an England side that didn&#x27;t know what they were doing.&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Former Wallabies lock Justin Harrison has launched a passionate defence of Australia&#x27;s efforts at Twickenham this morning following criticism from the great David Campese.
