Reece Hodge and Tom Wright dropped from 34-man squadPressure is on after back-to-back Rugby Championship defeats
Australia coach Eddie Jones has dropped experienced utility back Reece Hodge and fullback Tom Wright from his 34-man squad for back-to-back Tests against the All Blacks following a winless start to the Rugby Championship.
Australia were thrashed 43-12 by an understrength South Africa in Pretoria then suffered a last-gasp 34-31 defeat to Argentina in Sydney last weekend to heap pressure on Jones early in his second stint coaching the Wallabies.
