Winger Lote Tuqiri hopes to get more raised eyebrows from Wallabies Coach Robbie Deans, while flanker Rocky Elsom expects his new mentor to instill work ethics in the team.

In their first training session under their New Zealand born coach, Tuqiri said that Deans didn't really talk much and it was just a raise of eyebrows after having walked past him several times.

Tuqiri added it will be interesting over the next couple of weeks to have a chat and see what makes him tick and vice versa.

However, Tuqiri concluded that Deans was very successful at the Crusaders and hopes he will bring some of that success formula to the Wallabies.

Tuqiri is in doubt for the first match against Ireland next week.
