Ep.25 – Can the Wallabies counter Japan's 'infectious' rugby with Tom Robertson
Description
The Les Kiss era with the Wallabies has started with a win, but what have we learned so far? Western Force and injured Wallabies prop Tom Robertson joins Brett McKay on 8/9 Rugby for the squad-adjacent insight into what’s going on.
The 35-32 win in oppressive conditions in Osaka was good the for the Wallabies; a loss would meant a completely different dynamic as the team returned home for the second Test in Townsville this weekend. Japan were super impressive, and continue with their high-tempo game highlighted through the Nations Championship – but the Wallabies being able to do enough to win was a great result.
