Mick McCarthy was also playing against Georgia. Going by Joe's post match comments Foley might have done enough to displace him.berniemac67 wrote:Gas how Foley should now be on the bench. Great match and all, but it was Georgia ffs. We controlled the lineouts (no surprise), we were mullered at scrum time (disappointing, but no surprise), and we were in control in the loose (no surprise). The team did very well today, but anything less than what was produced today would have been a big disappointment.
I expect that barring injuries the matchday squad for the wallabies will be the same as that for the boks.
Interesting that despite MMcC's experience both generally and within Joe's systems that it was the debutant Foley who called the lineout.
