The Wallabies line-out fired against Fiji, with hooker Dave Porecki leading the World Cup for accuracy, but Wales are set to provide a sterner set-piece test.
abc.net.au/news/wallabies-hopeful-ahead-of-wales-rugby-world-cup-do-or-die-clash/102877952Amid the doom and gloom in France around the Wallabies' shock World Cup loss to Fiji, a shining light has been their lineout, spearheaded by new skipper Dave Porecki.
After two rounds of the World Cup Porecki leads the tournament statistics in lineout throws, nailing each of his 21 deliveries which is eight more than any other hooker. Porecki, who became the Wallabies' sixth captain of the year following a training injury to Will Skelton, was more concerned with the high-stakes match that lay ahead for his team."Everyone's talking about how we've got an upcoming do-or-die game but it's a World Cup so every game is do-or-die in my eyes and in the players' eyes," the 30-year-old Sydneysider said.
