RWC Pool D - Wallabies v Georgia, Friday 11th October, 9.15pm ADST

[dru]

That drop onto Beale didn't look good.

 

[Tomikin]

Yeah, he coped it but he did slip onto him..but does that make a difference

 

[Strewthcobber]

Possibly seeing why we have only seen To'omua start a half dozen times at 10 here

 

[cyclopath]

Yeah kicking a little grubber with a wet ball should be part of the plan. Worst case probably Georgian full back knocks on.

You know Wales, England, Ireland etc would do it.

 

[A mutterer]

Wallabies showing dogged adherence to whatever the generic game-plan is. Sideways shuffle I think it is called. Not really looking the best option in the wet so far.

sideways shuffle? havent heard that choon

I was advocating it against my better judgement but yeah I agree

Believe that is called playing the percentages; not sure thats been part of the Wallabies game plan for a while

 

[Viking]

Pocock having a blinder and its only been 15mins

 

[Adam84]

Naisarani 2nd lineout take, took an ugly ball and almost missed it, meant the wallabies couldn’t set the platform for a good rolling maul

 

[Forcefield]

Is it just me, or does the offside line seem pretty loose?

 

[Strewthcobber]

Think you either need Genia with To'omua, or White with a different 10.

Someone has to make the play out there

 

[Adam84]

Naisarani as LO target not going so well.

No, it isn’t

Really why his made tackles his passes and made no mistakes. He hasnt put in a grubber but thats probably game plan, then player..

 

[Viking]

Georgia defending well.... or maybe our attack is just predictable so far.

 

[Spruce Moose]

76 tackles made by Georgia already, unless they have something special in those water bottles they will fade shortly.

Yep. Is it Naisarani, the throw or the lift? Or the opposition?

 

[cyclopath]

It's the same game plan as we always use. So yes, predictable. Georgian defence good though, I agree.

 

[Viking]

Scrum penalties are a lottery, unlucky sio?

Absolute lottery, no way that was clear full arm penalty for Georgia. Cheika just added another ref to the list.

 

[Viking]

To'omua did well in that lead up
