MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The knives are not yet out for Dave Rennie but a shocking run of injuries has left the Australia coach on shaky ground ahead of daunting tests against world champions South Africa and a resurgent New Zealand.

Wallabies fans may have hoped for results-based progress in Rennie's third season in charge but their team have now lost a home series to England, crashed to their heaviest defeat to Argentina and slumped to seventh in the world rankings.
