If the Wallabies are ever going to produce an 80-minute display during this tournament, it has to come against Italy. They should have beaten Ireland in their opening game, and they played well for 40 minutes against France, but now they need to show something better. Playing Italy, who were thumped by New Zealand last week, is a recipe for success, and this game could reignite Australian rugby. Playing in Perth should help the Wallabies, and expectations should be high for a one-sided victory, so include Australia -17.5 in Nations Championship best bets. We should see bets come for Australia at the line, so it could move to around -18.5 before kickoff.<\/p>\n
