The Wallaby squad was captained by
Greg Davis described by Howell as
"a leader of men who believed a leader should lead....a single minded flanker who gave no quarter and asked for none". Davis was making his seventh and final overseas tour with the Wallabies, his third as captain. Howell writes that for Davis at 33 years and the end of a magnificent career, the seven loss & five win result of the tour was "a disaster and occasioned Davis' retirement". An injury picked up in New Zealand prevented Davis from leading the side in the Test match in Fiji on the way home.
Peter Sullivan led the Wallabies to a narrow 21-19 victory against Fiji. He had already captained Australia in two mid-week games during the New Zealand leg. The third Test in New Zealand, a 38-3 romp by the
All Blacks was Greg Davis' last match. Joe French was the tour manager.
Bob Templeton was the team's coach who carried the traditional touring title of Assistant Manager. ==Touring party==
