Theres the discovery - weve been able to get these two guys playing good rugby and starting to improve at this level.Weve also got ourselves another very, very handy lineout caller and hes only in single digit Tests.(Coleman has) got a good future. Hes got to keep working on it, theres no doubt about that. He knows that.Hes disappointed but thats the way footy goes sometimes.Australia play France at Stade de France on Saturday (Sunday AEDT), before finishing off with Tests against Ireland and England.
