Prediction:
Australia 37 – 23 Georgia
Eddie Jones’ young side arrive in Paris on the back of five straight defeats and having not having achieved a victory since November 2022. This is a shaky side, but one with youthful potential. The likes of Will Skelton as captain and Koroibete of the wing will be important players in a side looking for identity.
The ever improving Georgian side will not be an easy side to overcome; backed up by a huge amount of supporters around the globe they’ll push the Wallabies all the way.
