PORT ELIZABETH (Reuters) - Australia will relish the opportunity to be away on tour and sheltered from home criticism as they complete this year's Rugby Championship with tests in South Africa and Argentina over the next fortnight, forward Allan Alaalatoa said on Monday.

"Being away from Australia can be good for us," the Wallaby prop told a news conference ahead of Saturday's match against the Springboks at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
