Australia vs Georgia Preview


Georgia have a strong side and certainly the best tier 2 has to offer currently. They can make life very uncomfortable for Australia, so for me, the value is in the handicap market.

On home soil, the Wallabies should outclass Georgia, but the visitors will be competitive. I see the margin of victory being less than 17 points.

  • Australia have won their last 2 matches.
  • Australia won their last match against Georgia.
  • Georgia won their last match.

Head to Head


Australia beat Georgia 35-15 in their last meeting.

Australia Form


Australia are seeking a rugby union revival of Joe Schmidt as coach, although not much can be read into their 2-0 series win over Wales, another international side struggling at the moment.

The Aussies won the first game 25-16 and the second 36-28 in a series that had many positives, but also old failings. However, it was a vast improvement on the side that failed to progress from the World Cup group stages in 2023.

The Aussies will be using this fixture to test some new combinations and players. Set piece stability will be a key focus for Schmidt and his coaching staff as this is an area that continues to plague Australian rugby.

Australia Injuries & Team News


Australia have made 10 changes to their side from last week. Allan Alaalatoa becomes the third captain in three weeks, and he packs down in the front-row alongside rookies Isaac Kailea and Billy Pollard. Ben Donaldson, who played 15 at the World Cup in 2023, gets his first start at 10.

Georgia Form


Georgia is growing rapidly as a rugby nation, and they showed their quality during the World Cup in 2023. Georgia pushed Fiji all the way and drew against Portugal.

Also in the group stage, Georgia lost 35-15 to Australia, but the game was far more competitive than what the scoreline suggests. 

In their two Test matches since the World Cup, Georgia lost 21-12 at home to Fiji before beating Japan 25-23 last weekend.

Georgia Injuries & Team News


Georgia will make changes to their side from last week, but it is very likely that it will only be due to injury.

Verdict

Georgia can challenge Australia in Sydney. The visitors are backed to get within 17 points.
