Wallabies must turn moments into momentum to revive spirits

Australia's Wallabies face persistent doubts about whether their talented squad can be consistently knitted into a great team, despite flashes of brilliance. They lost all four Tests on last autumn's European tour and two more in summer before an unbeaten six-match run, then suffered back-to-back Bledisloe Cup defeats to New Zealand. Against England this Sunday, coach Les Kiss has selected attacking threats like Tom Wright, Max Jorgensen, Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, and Len Ikitau, with a forward pack anchored by Angus Bell and Allan Alaalatoa. Kiss, their fourth head coach in three years, is tasked with building on foundations laid by predecessor Joe Schmidt. A year out from the home World Cup, Kiss faces questions about integrating veterans from the 2015 squad and NRL converts, but insists players must earn their positions. The Australian public could rally behind a winning team in the tournament, seen as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to revive the sport.
