Wallabies Coach Mario Ledesma Apparently Reveals Game Plan for RWC Final vs. NZ

It's either an embarrassing blunder or a clever bluff, but either way, the mind games have started ahead of Saturday's Rugby World Cup final between New Zealand and Australia.

Photographs from Wallabies training have apparently exposed Australia's game plan for the final, which was written on the back of a piece of paper held by forwards coach Mario Ledesma.

In the notes are tricks to upset the All Blacks' game, including strategies for handling the New Zealand back line and tips to upset No. 8 Kieran Read.

Per the Telegraph, Australia's plans are as follows:

• Kickoff #5 and keep Poey [David Pocock] back (no Carter rage) (high as possible)
• Kickoff receipt #4 Kieran Read (get him rattled)
• Kick receipt shift off edge, forwards then snap to Snow or play
• Own the air space, catch everything, [chase] everything, escort wingers!!!

On Defence:

• Carter running right to left
• Nonu steps back on the inside when linespeed against
• Badge defence (Wednesday morning)
• Turnover spark in attack and defence

On Attack:

• Lineout attack gainline front foot speed. Expose [Nehe] Milner-Skudder and [Julian] Savea under ball or in backfield
