There are five faces that remain from the 45-10 defeat of Uruguay with Jack Dempsey, Nic White, Matt To’omua, Kurtley Beale all retained while exciting rookie Jordan Petaia swaps to the right wing. David Pocock will captain the new-look side with Michael Hooper’s workload to be eased ahead of a potential World Cup Quarter-Final in Oita next weekend. Remarkably it’s just the seventh time Hooper will start off the bench in what’s set to be his 99th Test appearance, and only the second time he’s done so with Michael Cheika as coach. To’omua will wear the number 10 jersey for the first time this year, having finished last season at flyhalf for the Wallabies Spring Tour clashes against Italy and England. Friday night’s clash will be the first meeting in Test history between Australia and Georgia, with the world number 11 side competing primarily in the Rugby Europe Championship. The two highest-ranked teams in Pool D will advance to the Quarter Finals with Wales still having two games left to play before the final eight teams are confirmed. If Australia finish first or second in Pool D, their Quarter-Final will be in Oita next weekend (October 19/20) against either France or England from Pool C.Wallabies team to play Georgia | Latest Rugby News | Wallabies Rugby

That's a good decision from the coaching staff, he can't stfu anyway so may as well give him the ability to approach the ref.
-
Hooper still on the bench though. Not really needed and he should have the game off heading into a big QF.

Hooper, Coleman ruled out of Georgia match
Wallabies captain Michael Hooper and lock Adam Coleman have been ruled out of Friday night's final pool match against Georgia. Hooper played no part in Thursday's captain's run in Shizuoka with Lukhan Salakaia-Loto running in his place in full captain's run gear. Coleman has been replaced by Rob Simmons in the matchday 23, with the latter now in line to play his 100th Test. Australia's usual skipper was initially named on the bench for this weekend's match with flanker David Pocock set to start and captain the side against Georgia. Hooper's late withdrawal means the flanker would have to wait until a Rugby World Cup semi-final to hit his own Test century. Both are expected to be fit for Australia's quarter-final next week, all but certainly against England, after Wales beat Fiji on Wednesday night. Forwards coach Simon Raiwalui played down any concerns over the fitness of the two. "They're just little niggles they're nothing too major but with that (quarter-final spot) confirmed we decided to go that way," he said. -
I hope Aus run rampant tonight, i want them up and about against England next week.

Or - even better - struggle through with a 15-point win, look like a bucket of shit doing it, and then ambush those white-shirted fuckers in the QF.
Ah, I can dream....

Whole lotta socioeconomic divide in that distance... -
Jeez the weather is nice for this one...
First meeting between my nation and one of my favourite Rugby nations
-
Cautious in the wet.
Jeez Dempsey is good through contact
-
Pocock with ball in hand makes Reuben Thorne look dynamic
-
First scrum. Let's get it!
-
Toomua went high there. Lucky
-
Ah good they came back for it. Initial contact on the ball but lazy grab
-
Why are Georgia wearing white? Surely their wine colour wasa better option?
-
Pocock. Wow.
-
@NTA said in RWC: Australia v Georgia (Pool D):
Pocock. Wow.
Ably assisted by White holding the ball in while laying on the ground.
-
Pocock with the assist of the guy on the ground holding the ball as well

The one the ref went back for on your recommendation? No? @mariner4life he hear you? Ah well. Penalty it is
-
That was a great tackle.

@Stargazer said in RWC: Australia v Georgia (Pool D):
That was a great tackle.
Fuck Pocock lined their 10 up too
-
Another professional foul by White who was never on side at the ruck.
Surprised there aren't calls for him to be yellow carded.
-
White a mile offside making that last tackle. I am sure NTA wants him carded for repeatedly infringing
-
@antipodean i love you

You two are funny. Being kiwis you don't actually know what the laws are any more, or how to apply them

Georgian scrum half missed a trick there. Should've run straight at White who was a mile offside.
