MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Incoming Wallabies coach Dave Rennie is cautious about scrapping Australia's 'Giteau Law', which limits selection of overseas-based players to those with 60 test caps or more, fearing it may lead to an exodus of talent and harm the domestic game.

Media pundits have been calling on Australia to shelve the restriction after South Africa ditched a similar policy and went on to win World Cup in Japan with a squad laden with foreign-based players.
