SYDNEY (Reuters) - Michael Cheika says the Wallabies will look to set the tone at the World Cup with a brand of old-fashioned Australian rugby as they look to put aside four years of turmoil with another run deep into the tournament.

Losing finalists in 2015, Australia has endured a torrid time on and off the field since the loss to the All Blacks at Twickenham and they are 18-1 outsiders with the bookmakers to win the trophy for the third time.
