RWC Week 1: Australia v Georgia
-
@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
-
Well taken fair play
Not convinced it was a penalty against Australia at the scrum
-
Shit kick from White but did well with the tackle
But good recovery
Great offload
Deserved that try -
Hard to know what to make of Aussie as Giorgia have generally been very poor.
-
Fabulous pass for BP
Donaldson MOTM
