While Australia's performances over the three years under coach Alan Jones were of a high standard, Jones had a polarising effect on the team with many players unhappy with his management style. Mark Ella, who retired after the 1984 season, stated that he might not have retired had Jones not been coach.

that is widely distributed throughout Australia. The name has its origins during first United Kingdom and North America tour by the Australian team in 1908. New Zealand had just completed a tour and the English press dubbed their team the "All Blacks". It was suggested that Australia should too have a nickname, and "Rabbits" was one of the names suggested by the English newspapers. The Australians rejected this, and did not want the national team to be represented by an imported pest. They opted for the native Wallaby instead. At first it was only touring parties that were nicknamed the Wallabies; when Australia played domestically, they were referred to as internationals.<sup id="cite_ref-aru-08_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-aru-08-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-wallabyinfo_67-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wallabyinfo-67"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>64<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The team mascot is known as <a href="/wiki/Wally_(Wallabies_mascot)" title="Wally (Wallabies mascot)">Wally</a>.

href="/wiki/2015_Rugby_World_Cup" title="2015 Rugby World Cup">2015 Rugby World Cup</a> approaching, the ARU announced that it would tweak their selection policy, so that certain players could ply their trade in the Japanese <a href="/wiki/Top_League" class="mw-redirect" title="Top League">Top League</a> competition from August to February, as long as they continued to play for a Super Rugby franchise from February to August, making them eligible for Wallaby selection as they would also be still playing in Australia. </p><p>However, this "flexible contract" would only be given to a select number of players considered by the head coach and the ARU board, which means not all players playing or transferring to Japan would be allowed to play in the Top League and the Super Rugby.<sup

players when the Top League clashes with the Rugby Championship in August through to October, and the end-of-year tour in November. </p><p>At this point, players playing in Europe were not considered for the flexible contract, as too much of the European season clashes with Wallaby test matches. </p><p>However, on 22 April 2015, <a href="/wiki/Giteau%27s_law" title="Giteau's law">further changes were made to the original selection policy in order for some European based players to be selected</a>. </p><p>In addition to the flexible contract, Australian players playing anywhere in the world can be selected for the Wallabies as long as they fit a certain criteria – A player must have held a professional contract with Australian rugby for at least seven years, and have played 60 tests or more for an overseas based player to be selected. </p><p>Further more, if a player does not fit these criteria and plays overseas, but chooses to return to Australia, they become immediately eligible for selection as long as they have signed at least two years with the Australian Super Rugby franchise for the following season.<sup id="cite_ref-75" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-75"><span
