Australia's captain Harry Wilson and head coach Joe Schmidt react to the draw

Harry Wilson (Australia captain)

On facing New Zealand:

"We’re obviously stoked to get the All Blacks. They’re a team we love versing, we verse them quite a lot. In a World Cup, if you want to win it, you’ve got to beat the best teams and they’re obviously one of the top teams in the world."

On Australia's 11-test losing streak against New Zealand:

"Obviously that’s been disappointing but this year in both tests we had opportunities. The game was there with 15 minutes to go and we didn’t nail them. Hopefully, where we’re going as a team we can keep improving and in the next year or two start winning some of those big moments which we haven’t won so far.

"I know as a group, we know we can beat them. We've shown to ourselves how capable we are but we’ve just got to pull together for 80 minutes."

On a potential match-up with the Springboks in a Rugby World Cup quarter-final:

"There’s a lot of potential paths you can go down but if we get the Springboks in a quarter-final it’ll be exciting. It’s a challenge which we’re going to have to be ready for."

On Hong Kong China and Chile:

"I honestly don’t know too much about them but I’ve got no doubt over the next year and a half they’ll be a team all Australians will be keeping an eye on. When you’ve got them in a World Cup pool stage, you’re going to have to know your teams well."

Joe Schmidt (Australia coach)

On Australia’s Rugby World Cup pool:

"It’s really exciting. The Wallabies will play [New Zealand] four times in the lead-up and it gives you a great opportunity to really plot a path to get up and organise for that game.

"Chile and Hong Kong China, they’re two newcomers that will challenge you in a different way; challenge you to keep that level of performance to a certain height so that when you hit the round of 16, you hit the ground running."

On New Zealand:

"I’m excited about the pathway that we can plot in between now and the next time we play New Zealand, but then also beyond that.

"I know that Les [Kiss] is pretty excited about where the team can get to ... we didn’t have a good November and it’s impossible to hide that we didn’t have a good November. There ere glimpses, though, and we can still build on those glimpses after a bit of an emotional rollercoaster of a year.

"Les is pretty excited to get started. Had a couple of good conversations with him today."
