Also, thanks planet rugby "Petaia had a sensational start to his Super Rugby season before that was also cut short when he suffered a lisfranc injury in just his second game of the season, against the Crusaders." So he had a sensational game? 🙄

Hooper and Ala'alatoa will have started every game. You would think Tupou would be in the no.3 jersey in a game like this.

@Bovidae said in RWC: Australia vs Uruguay (Pool D):

The Wallabies have clearly targeted this match playing their best back row...

MiketheSnow

Surely this is the match which Foley starts.

Back on the horse against the weaker of the remaining opponents.

Or is he being rested as Chieka's preferred first choice 10 going into the knockout stages?

antipodean

The problem for Cheika is he's not going to learn more about his squad from a fixture like this.

I never thought I would see the day where Aussie commentators made passionate arguments to drop David Pocock.

African Monkey

@Machpants To be fair he did haha it was against the Highlanders. He certainly convinced me (which isn't saying much at all) that he's the next big star of Aussie rugby.

Wow... Fuck... Even Skeen was trying to talk him down...

Stargazer

Coleman off for 10 minutes for a high tackle (the 2nd in 5 minutes). First contact with neck.

Bones

Why are Australia wearing green tops?

No Quarter

That's soft as fuck. Pretty hard for Coleman there, a shorter player ducks into the tackle and cops it on the shoulder. I reckon ducking into tackles and looking for cards will become a legitimate tactic.

@Bones Indigenous jerseys.

Stargazer

@Nevorian I don't think that's the reason. Their previous indigenous jersey was more yellow. They probably just wanted something different for the RWC. I like it.
