After a man-of-the-match performance against Georgia, Ben Donaldson is set to retain his spot at fullback for the Wallabies’ second hitout in France.
Wallabies coach Eddie Jones is set to give Ben Donaldson another opportunity at fullback for Australia’s tricky assignment against Fiji this week in their second Rugby World Cup match.
There had been calls for Kellaway to come back into the starting XV, after playing both Bledisloe Cup matches and a warm-up against France, but the Melbourne Rebels utility back may have to settle for a role on the bench.Donaldson was picked at fullback last week to alleviate pressure on No.10 Carter Gordon, whose kicking off the tee was wayward against France.Former Wallabies fullback Mat Rogers suggested this week he would have gone with Kellaway at No.15 for the Fiji clash.
Tight-head prop Taniela Tupou is unlikely to take part in the Test after picking up a “minor hamstring” injury, according to Wallabies officials. An official timeline on his injury is expected on Friday when Jones names his team.
