Eddie Jones controversially only selected one specialist fly-half in his Rugby World Cup squad — and he's dropped him for the Wallabies must-win clash against Wales.
abc.net.au/news/wallabies-drop-flyhalf-carter-gordon-for-wales-rugby-world-cup/102891760Wallabies coach Eddie Jones has dumped fly-half Carter Gordon for the must-win Rugby World Cup clash against Wales on Monday morning .
Andrew Kellaway comes in for his first start of the tournament at fullback, while Tate McDermott will captain the side after recovering from a concussion that ruled him out of last week's defeat to Fiji. "You've made some glaring decisions around Quade [Cooper], around Michael Hooper, six captains in seven weeks, like, f*****g explain some of these decisions to us," Mitchell said on The Good, The Bad and the Rugby Australia podcast.
"Tell us as fans why have you not picked these guys? Because now we're seeing the result of you not picking some of these guys."
