Helping Fiji’s bid to beat Australia is an apparent hamstring injury suffered by powerful Wallabies prop Taniela Tupou, who starred in his side’s 35-15 weekend win over Georgia. “He didn’t train today but that’s not unusual for Taniela – don’t worry,” Wallabies assistant coach Jason Ryles told reporters.
“We’re going to have to execute, we’re going to have to play our game plan, we’re going to have to do it to our best abilities.Springboks great Jean de Villiers said the Fijians were capable of beating the Wallabies.“I think for Australia, and probably for world rugby, it was good to see Australia getting their first win under Eddie again.“That will build their confidence, I am still not convinced they will be title contenders and even against Georgia, Georgia put up a decent fight.

Through the use of a translator, the zombies called on the government to regulate fossil fuel advertisements and sponsorships, in the same way as alcohol and tobacco. “The Federal government needs to ban fossil fuel sponsorships so our sporting heroes are not made billboards for climate destruction,” said translator and Dead Wallabies Captain Belinda Noble. “Unfortunately, the Dead Wallabies could not find any brains in Canberra this morning because the government is still beholden to fossil fuel companies destroying our climate.”
