Among the instructions to their players are to “expose” wings Nehe Milner-Skudder and Julian Savea under the high ball or in the backfield and “rattle” number eight Kieran Read at restarts.

The notes, which cover both sides of the sheets of paper although only one page is visible, are broken up into different sections that cover kick-offs, defence and attack.

Influential number eight and World Rugby player of the year nominee David Pocock is told to hold off when Australia are taking a kick-off by not targeting All Blacks fly-half Dan Carter – “no Carter rage”.

The looming aerial battle at Twickenham – New Zealand’s tactical kicking led by Carter is outstanding – is teed up by the words “own the air space, catch everything, chase everything, escort wingers!!!”.

Australia’s coaches have also poured over their Rugby Championship rivals’ attacking game in pursuit of becoming the first nation to lift the Webb Ellis Cup for a third time.

The notes state that Carter runs “right to left”, “Nonu steps back on the inside” when defensive line speed is rapid and calls for a “turnover spark in attack and defence”.
