Coach Robbie Deans has ruled out a rotation policy for the Wallabies despite the risk of player burn-out from a gruelling 15-Test schedule this year.
Australia's heavy fixture list continues on Saturday week in the first match of a two-Test series against France at Sydney's ANZ Stadium.

players get burned out by the training not games.
15 games is nothing, they played 13 games in 3 or 4 months in the super 14.
well only the key players anyway moeses, i dont really worry about the others. who cares if they get burned out
I'm talking about the key players, you know the ones who made up 11 of the 21 to play on Saturday?
we won right, against a team who we lost to six months ago
how many tahs players scored on the weekend?
i thought the key players like giteau and barnes who both scored were a big part of the win.
admittedly, there were some useful tahs in there. but they didnt make the game. they ARENT the entire 22. and they shouldnt be.
A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...
