The Wallabies remain tight-knit and won't fray at the seems despite half the touring party being named and shamed for a late night in Dublin last week.
That's the opinion of the deposed captain James Horwill, the first player to front the media since Ewen McKenzie stood down six players and reprimanded nine others for staying out late drinking before a mid-week rest day leading up to the match against Ireland.
While McKenzie was furious almost half his squad failed to comply with team protocols, Horwill insisted the episode would not split or hurt the group.
Former Wallabies and Waratahs winger Drew Mitchell, who's now based in France, tweeted his disdain at McKenzie's sanctions, and appeared to claim that one player dobbed in his teammates.
