The Wallabies have been world rugby's most ill-disciplined side when it comes to conceding yellow cards since the World Cup and are spending almost a tenth of their matches a man down.

Michael Cheika's side have won just seven games from 17 attempts since the 2015 Rugby World Cup and in that time 13 players have been shown a yellow card.

Scott Sio, Adam Coleman, Bernard Foley and Israel Folau are all double offenders, while Quade Cooper, Michael Hooper, Will Skelton, Dean Mumm and Dane Haylett-Petty have all been sent to the bin since last year's June Test series.

On average, a Wallabies player has been shown a card every 1.31 games – more than twice as often as other tier one nations Scotland (2.83), France (2.83), Ireland (3.17) and Wales (6.33). New Zealand (1.88), Argentina (1.89), Italy (2), South Africa (2.33) and England (2.5) round out the other tier one nations that have got their act together more so than the Wallabies. Across those 17 matches, Australia has been without a player for 130 minutes, which equates to 9.56 per cent of overall game-time.
