                Can you think of any reason why Eddie rates him so highly? There must be something?

                He just looks like a below par utility player whose ceiling should be SR

                  Because Randwick? 😉
                  Or dementia ... 🤔

                  Has a decent boot and is an ok playmaker at super level. Is he the guy I want in the last line against Georgian tractor wrestlers or their nippy outside backs?

                  Fuck no. Kellaway all day.

                    The least experienced Wallabies team (343 caps) to run out in a World Cup match since Jones’ side in 2003 smashed Namibia in Adelaide.

                      Playing Kerevi might be a risk at this point but fuck it. Whatever.

                        Reserve front row has about 6 caps between them? Maybe less...

                            Is Donaldson a good goal kicker?

                              Better than the ten

                                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.

                                    The Wallaby starting pack doesn't look too bad, plenty of size that is for sure, the back three look good. This will be a great forward battle.

                                      Australia going to give Georgia a right tuning

                                        Not sure what’s worse. Vuvuzelas or acapella anthems by children’s choirs.

                                          That 50/22 was a beautiful kick, wish we could do that
