The Wallabies remain undefeated under Joe Schmidt but as usual, Georgia made them work hard for a 40-29 win.
Skipper Allan Alaalatoa has got the monkey off the back and survived his first game as Wallabies captain without a major calamity. His first game was in the defeat to Italy in Florence, and his second was at the MCG last year against New Zealand - where he did his achilles tendon.And though Georgia threw a kitchen sink at the Wallabies, he’s captained them to a win tonight.“The boys are happy ... I am very proud of the boys with how we dug deep there.
We probably didn’t help ourselves with our discipline and we knew had to roll the sleeves up at times, with ‘Lipo’ out for 20 minutes of the game,” Alaalatoa told Stan. “Georgia, you to give credit to them, they never went away and that’s what we expected. It was a tough, physical game and I am very proud of the effort.”Alaalatoa was happy with the Wallabies’ returns at maul time.
