Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has confirmed his team will not take a knee before kick-off in the third Bledisloe Cup test against the All Blacks next weekend.
Reports out of Australia suggested the team was strongly considering the move. Such an action would mirror what was seen across the world, predominantly in the United States, as part of the Black Lives Matter movement.
It has met differing views from across the ditch with former Australian captain Nick Farr-Jones believing it could turn fans away from an already struggling game, while former Wallaby Peter FitzSimons told Newstalk ZB's Heather du Plessis-Allan he loves the idea.
But Rennie says there was a unanimous decision not to kneel after meetings with leaders and the playing group.
"The key thing is this is about honouring our indigenous people and we want the focus to be on that," he adds. "Everyone's got their own opinions around the situation, but we want to focus on reflecting on our history and our past.
