Wallabies v Georgia 20 July - Allianz Stadium 3.45PM

[Brumby Runner]

All the other main backrow contenders have left/are leaving the country or are injured. Except maybe Uru?

Williams plays 6 at the Force.

Everybody knows that the maul defence s*cks so the Georgian are gonna target that. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it.

So pick the best defender of maul in the squad and train your f*cking maul defence

Holloway too is pretty good against mauls. But I get why he isn't in the squad.
The maul defence concerns me, a lot. They really need to ramp it up because every team will have witnessed how bad they were against Wales.

Last time he was in a maul for the Wallabies he was red carded

 

[Brumby Runner]

Is that right Tom? I recall he was red carded for an illegal clean out but I cannot remember a card from a maul.

 

[Derpus]

Yeah he came in the side of a ruck and exploded Tupaea's knee.

And only received a yellow card for it (upgraded afterwards).

The red card was 5 tests before that one

True, I tried blocking 2022 out so my memory is off

Yes the headbutt. Guys two memorable moments in test matches are a head butt and an illegal clean out haha

And what about 2023? Lol

 

[Alex Sharpe]

Maul D is Laurie Fisher's bread and butter. Now its an identified issue I am hopeful it will get sorted quick

It was a second yellow wasn't it?

He looked to have pulled his head in this year but I'm not going to pretend his discipline isn't an issue

 

[Tomthumb]

And what about 2023? Lol

Great building year for 2027 mate

I’m sure they will be fine, it’s only a week and there are worse places in the world to be shipped off to than Sydney
