Rugby: Deans demands better decision-making

Wallaby coach Robbie Deans is demanding better decision-making from his playmakers in tomorrow's test against Wales after naming an unchanged line-up.

With the Wallabies unaffected by injury or suspension, Deans has rewarded the 22 who beat the All Blacks in Hong Kong last weekend. But the coach is looking for another step forward as they seek back-to-back victories for the first time since July.

"Obviously it was a fillip getting the result last week," Deans said. "Critically, we need the team to recognise what it took to put ourselves in that position and not take that for granted.

"What we're looking for will be the added elements that we hadn't previously been doing consistently, particularly with some of our decisions around when to play and when to look for field position in the last 20 minutes of the game. Last weekend showed a significant improvement in our decision-making ... but we need to ensure that it doesn't taper."

Meanwhile, Wales have dropped their most-capped forward of all time, Martyn Williams, to the bench.
