Venerdì a Wellington scenderanno in campo Australia e Stati Uniti, partita della pool C, la stessa dell’Italia.
il ct wallabies Robbie Deans ha deciso sei cambi per la sua formazione rispetto a quella scesa in campo dal primo minuto nel match poi perso con l’Irlanda. Non ci sarà James Horwill, e così i gradi di capitano passano a Will Genia.
Kurtley Beale; Adam Ashley-Cooper, Anthony Fainga’a, Rob Horne, Drew Mitchell; Quade Cooper, Will Genia (capt); Wycliff Palu, Ben McCalman, Rocky Elsom; Nathan Sharpe, Rob Simmons; Ben Alexander, Tatafu Polota-Nau, James Slipper
Replacements: Stephen Moore, Sekope Kepu, Dan Vickerman, Radike Samo, Luke Burgess, Berrick Barnes, Pat McCabe
Oggi si è giocata solo Italia-Russia (53-17)
