Australia, which arrives in this World Cup (September 8-October 28) with a very bad dynamic, could be deprived of two executives, for the competition. During Wallabies training on Thursday in Andrézieux-Bouthéon, James Slipper and Samu Kerevi did not train.

The left pillar, Slipper (131 selections), is affected in a tendon of the foot. Wallabies coach Eddie Jones confirmed in a press conference that at this stage, “he is uncertain for Georgia”. On the other hand, the three-quarter center Samu Kerevi, injured his right hand during the match against New Zealand (23-20 defeat) and is training on the sidelines of the selection.

Eddie Jones added: “We have a few absentees, but like every team in the world at the moment. The only thing we have to think about is Georgia in ten days. Are we on the right track for Georgia? Yes. The rest is up to you, not us.”
