Former Wallabies captain John Eales says Australia must build on confidence gained from their scrappy win over Argentina to make an impact at this year's Rugby World Cup.

Eales, a two‑time world champion in 1991 and 1999, believes this squad needs to trust in their abilities if they are to be successful when the World Cup begins on September 20th in Japan.

Eales told Reuters that he thinks there is talent there but  thinks what they need to work on is a true belief in themselves.

Australia will play the All Blacks at 10pm next Saturday in the Bledisloe Cup.
