THEY do their best to rattle rival players with rabid support, colourful language and the occasional laser beam, but the Wallabies plan to use the wild Argentinian crowd to their advantage in Rosario.

Coach Ewen McKenzie said that the team would again spurn the dressing room at halftime and stay out in the middle of the field, as they did in Cape Town at the weekend.

Instead of the Wallabies disappearing up the Newlands Stadium tunnel, James Horwill and his side gathered near the halfway line. Chairs, drinks and even massage tables were brought out for players as McKenzie gave his halftime speech.

"I felt our weakness had been in the second half. When we went into the dressing room, when we came out maybe we were too relaxed, I don't know. But we weren't getting the outcome in the second half, so we just stayed out in the environment,'' McKenzie said.

"The players enjoyed it. It was good. I said `we have been doing it in rugby for 100 years, it's only in the last 10 that we went inside'.''

The unusual plan to stay on the field at halftime was first conjured for the Rosario Test, said McKenzie, where the soccer change rooms are a three-minute walk from the field.

"It's not going to win or lose you the game, it is just about keeping you in the atmosphere of the game. You go inside, you go silent and you have to start again. We actually just stayed in the moment in Cape Town and it worked well.

"Guys could hit pads and do different things. We didn't relax. It is an 80-minute game, let's stay in the 80-minute game.''
