What Australia learnt against Fiji that will give them hope for Lions series
Lack of Game Management
Noah Lolelo Zorlu trip in NewcastleFinally leave the field on an hour after a heavy struggle.
Especially a decision stood out.
Wallabies took ahead 14-0 and looked under control over time in the first half. The obvious option was to kick to touch. Instead, Brumbies game founder made a speculative chip kick, Fiji won the ball, and Salesi Rayasi scored goals in the corner and changed the game because the visitors dominated the second half.
Lolysio high -betting gambling and almost cost his team. Against the lions, Wallabies won’t be so lucky.
Basic Faults
In Newcastle, both sides had the opportunity to kill the game. World -class Wallabies FullBack Tom Wright will not enjoy the video review session with the coaching staff this week after the further transitions cost Wallabies two attempts.
He was closer to Potter more than 15 minutes, but the transition turned forward.
Wallabies died of hunger attacking opportunities, Wright played the ball again, drew a defensive player, and under pressure to create a place for Max Jorgensen’s scapest wing player to score a goal. However, the transition from Wright to Potter was ruled forward and Wallabies lost another valuable opportunity.
Schmidt after the game, the team’s skill errors should be discussed both further transitions.
Wallabies also missed 29 struggles against Fiji, who exploited the area. The bright Scottish of the lions will be even more ruthless.
Jorgensen fresh and in form
Three months ago, Jorgensen suffered ankle injury After fighting against hurricanes. The wing player beat his fists into the grass, fearing that the rest of the Super Rugby season and the potentially motivation to resist the Lions series, which is motivated to resist the offers from NRL clubs.
In his first match, Jorgensen was sharp and asked questions about his constant physical fiji defense.
His performance was not perfect-70. There was a hit in a minute and there were three kidnapped teams-but Jorgensen’s class makes it easy to forget that it is only 20 years old.
Joseph-AUKUSO Suaalii and Jorgensen have recognized each other better in the long days because they got rid of the injuries in the gym, and together with Wright and Center Ikitau, they can create a real problem for the defense of lions if used correctly.
Mcreight real play
Fraser Mcreight maintained the strong tradition of Wallabies to wear Jumper number 7 and was cruel to Fiji.
Mcreight’s entire action screen was awarded with a good trial in 38 minutes, but it was a failure to influence.
In November, Mcreight left behind Josh van der Flier from Ireland and caused destruction on every possible back.
There were two turnover in 20 minutes and 73 minutes, but it was the last of the game on the line. If Fiji had scored goals, it would be almost too late for Wallabies.
Like any good no.7, Mcreight’s timing in the fault was supreme. Fiji’s second rowing Isoa Nasılasila, the barrel, avoiding contact, allowing his side to play perfectly when he needed the most.
Wilson perfect captain in a crisis
Harry Wilson is a Wallabies captain who prefers to allow actions rather than ventilated orders. On Sunday, he expressed himself perfectly against Fiji, exactly at the right time.
In addition to almost telepathic understanding with Mcreight in the back row, Wilson has the ability to stay cool in tense situations.
Wallabies’ pressure against Fiji was tremendous. In December, a desperate win was required to seed in front of the World Cup lottery, and most importantly, to give confidence in front of the test series against Lions.
Wilson, Wilson, had completed six stages before taking responsibility for winning the game on his shoulders.
He ran to get the ball from Mcreight, and he returned acrobatically as he dived with him on the grass of four Fiji defenders. Wilson was the captain of the Lions series potentially.
