Rugby: The Wallabies unbeaten start under new coach Joe Schmidt will be put to the test when they take on Georgia.
Wallabies wary of physical Georgia | 00:43The Wallabies will have a third captain in three games under new coach Joe Schmidt with Liam Wright failing to recover in time for Saturday’s clash with Georgia.
Queensland Reds back rower Harry Wilson will play his first Test since 2022, named to start at number eight while front-rowers Isaac Kailea and Billy Pollard, with just four tests between them, will both earn their first starts for the Wallabies, having played as reserves against Wales. Georgia are coming off an upset win over Japan, coached by former Wallabies mentor Eddie Jones, and Schmidt said they loom as a significant challenge for his team which won back-to-back clashes against Wales.
