‘Pork chop’ delivery but Lions boss had a point, and Wallabies have a point to prove
@Source: smh.com.au
That may not be enough to please the Lions, who understandably want some high-quality opposition before the Test series, but in pure sporting terms it is an enormous opportunity for Donaldson and Paisami in particular.
Donaldson could really impact Schmidt’s thinking about his bench with a strong performance at No. 15 against the Lions in Perth on Saturday. We already know that Schmidt wants to see more of Donaldson the athlete, the one that started Super Rugby Pacific looking like a million bucks due to his running game.
Donaldson’s pace and ability to cover fullback are the attributes that set him apart from the other No. 10 candidates for the Wallabies, Noah Lolesio and Tom Lynagh.
Assuming that Lolesio starts the first Test, then the Force game is Donaldson’s chance to convince Schmidt he can be more of a change agent off the bench than Lynagh.
