The Wallabies will have to stay in France for another seven painstaking days before learning if they will exit the pool stages of a Rugby World Cup for the first time.
The Wallabies have kept their slim hopes of making it to the last eight at the Rugby World Cup alive after a 34-14 bonus-point win over Portugal in their final pool match in France.
Wallaby Izaia Perese is tackled by Portugal’s Raffaele Storti and Nicolas Martins at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Saint-Etienne.It would not be the craziest suggestion for coach Eddie Jones to leave Wallabies camp for a few days and head to Perpignan in the south of France to help Portugal plot a victory over Fiji.
Jones said before the match that Samu Kerevi was the next player up at No.10 in the event Donaldson picked up an injury.However, Donaldson was calm and composed and marshalled his troops around the field well. Donaldson kicked the three-pointer before Portugal made the most of a terrible defensive lapse from Marika Koroibete to score a try down their right edge.Australia went for another penalty – it went wide on this occasion – before the floodgates opened, with tight-five players Richie Arnold, Dave Porecki and Bell all scoring tries of their own in a profitable and impressive seven-minute burst that opened up a 24-7 lead.
