In their first six matches of 2013 the Wallabies have struggled to get any real combinations going in attack, and in particular there’s been a bit of a disconnect between the forwards and backs.

At times it’s looked like they haven’t had the opportunity to train together before a match.

Given how poor the weather was in the match against the Pumas it’s hard to take too much away from the performance but I did start to see some encouraging signs.

In the video today I’ll take you through three possessions where there are examples of a base pattern starting to emerge.

This should help the Wallabies achieve and maintain some momentum in their attack, which will then open up some real opportunities.

Unfortunately you’ll also see examples of the various problems the Wallabies are still having in attack.

Slow alignment, the ball sitting at the base of the ruck, getting the balance of numbers wrong in attacking breakdowns, going wide when they would be better playing close, support players too far away from the ball carrier and some poor execution are all issues that Ewen McKenzie needs to improve.

But at least there are some signs of life.
