Huh. Weird.
Can you think of any reason why Eddie rates him so highly? There must be something?
Because Randwick? 😉
Or dementia ...
Has a decent boot and is an ok playmaker at super level. Is he the guy I want in the last line against Georgian tractor wrestlers or their nippy outside backs?
Fuck no. Kellaway all day.
-
The least experienced Wallabies team (343 caps) to run out in a World Cup match since Jones’ side in 2003 smashed Namibia in Adelaide. -

@Tim said in RWC: Australia v Georgia:
Is Donaldson a good goal kicker?
69.4% after the round robin of SR (35/49)
For comparison at the same stage of the season - Mo'unga 80%, B Barrett 79%, McKenzie 73%
Compared to other Aussies - Hodge 81.7%, Lolesio 81.8%
So it doesn't look like goal kicking is the reason. He was 4th on the cumulative metres kicked before the QF started. Maybe he's there to play territory?
-
Despite the stats, Donaldson's selection is about having another goal kicking option.
-
Normal service to be resumed
Australia going to give Georgia a right tuning
-
Not sure what’s worse. Vuvuzelas or acapella anthems by children’s choirs.

Looking on the money so far.
-
Giorgia 9 has been imitating BB with his kicking. He has been diabolical. Giorgia have been crap.
-
Oz have come to play
Donaldson’s positional play has been superb and barring one kick his kicking game too
Oz haven’t allowed Georgia to get in a rhythm
Kicked long, chased well
Competed at every breakdown
And monstered their much vaunted scrum
They’ve trucked the ball up hard, especially Kerevi , making Georgia tackle and tiring them out
That Eddie bloke can coach
