Australia name same team which beat Fiji for crunch England clash
“But his next task is whether he can find the best rugby style for his players”. He is great to watch with a few of the skills he brings to the game.
“I know Richard Wigglesworth has said what the hell do I know about rugby and he’s got a point because I’m an old fart”. “We’re massively excited that we’ve got Australia at Twickenham, and everything is on this one game for us”.
It is all part of the fifth column which is directed towards the English in these sorts of situations, and you can certainly tell there is a World Cup on. “Our focus is beating Australia”.
The Wallabies’ weakness in recent history has generally been in the front row, but under their current coach Michael Cheika that has really begun to change.
The Wallabies have sought to make improvements in the scrum and under new set-piece coach Mario Ledesma have not been clearly bested all winter.
“They will definitely come out of the blocks hard and fast”.
A struggling side now losing their best player in the tournament so far doesn’t bode well for a successful performance for the Fijians. “I’m just taking the challenge on board and can’t wait to get out there”. He picked up the injury in last Saturday’s Pool A defeat to Wales.
Morgan will be back on duty at No 8 after missing the Wales game with a knee injury. When he went off the intensity which was previously there seemed to go with him.
I have no problem with the initial choice because it was a positive option. They are tough calls.
Wales’ well-chronicled injury curse has removed players like Leigh Halfpenny, Rhys Webb, Jonathan Davies, Scott Williams, Cory Allen and Hallam Amos from their World Cup plans.
Despite failing to deliver against the Welsh the team has its next crucial hurdle to face on Saturday. For us as coaches we promised players the sessions are as short as possible if intensity is there.
Wales will be going for a knock-out blow against the Fijians at the Millennium Stadium after watching a film about Wales’ greatest boxer, Joe Calzaghe. One which doesn’t include the likes of Mike Brown showing his darker side.
“I’m not nervous, but it reminds me of a similar feeling after the second Test for the Lions against Australia when we had a big opportunity to win the series that was missed”. We offer a lot in that area and that’s somewhere we’ll be going at them again.
“The guys will go away and whoever is involved next week will know that they are carrying the weight of the country on their shoulders to get that victory”. Pound to a penny Wales get the home changing room as well!
But if you do think the hosts of a World Cup are not capable of pulling out a display in which emotion or sheer bloody-mindedness overcomes technical deficiencies than you have not seen too many World Cups.
Games such as rugby are full of such throws of the dice, so what can Robshaw and the rest of the England team learn from professional gamblers about making risky decisions?
