Giteau trying to do too much: Ella
August 10, 2010
FORMER Wallabies back Gary Ella has criticised Matt Giteau for overplaying his hand and stilting Australia's attack in their twin Bledisloe Cup failures.
Ella believes the misfiring backline star was feeling the pressure to perform better and, as a result, played too selfishly in the 49-28 and 20-10 losses to New Zealand.
With Quade Cooper sure to return to five-eighth against South Africa on August 28, Giteau will move from No.10.
''I just think he should underplay a little bit,'' the former Test centre said. ''There's a couple of players in the Australian team at the moment who I think are overplaying their hand.''
