KEY POINTS:
The Wallabies have denied they're "whingers" after the British press took issue with complaints of playing their key World Cup match against Wales in Cardiff.
Wallabies players and coaches this week suggested the Welsh had an unfair advantage by being at home for the pivotal Pool B match tomorrow.
Australian Rugby Union boss John O'Neill then took a shot at the International Rugby Board and tournament organisers for allowing the game to be played outside host nation France.
Wales and Scotland both did deals with the French to help them gain hosting rights ahead of England in exchange for matches in Cardiff and Edinburgh.
London's Daily Mail was one of the UK newspapers to latch on to O'Neill's gripes and ran the headline "Wallabies whingers".
Asked if Australia were whingers, former Wales coach and current Wallabies assistant Scott Johnson said: "I'd choose to ignore that one but I'll say emphatically no." Coach John Connolly stood by comments that Wales were fortunate to get hosting rights for a game set to decide the pool winner.
