Wallabies-Ireland: Campbell and Prendergast at kick-off
The Australians recall Campbell in defense and the Irish start Prendergast at opener for this Six Nations Tournament clash this Saturday at 12:10 p.m.
m. (French time), in a decisive clash of the Six Nations Tournament at the Stade de France. The Australians, in defensive difficulty in recent weeks, are banking on Campbell – absent for several months – to strengthen their back line against a Clover XV in form.
Eddie Jones' staff has made a decision: the 25-year-old fullback, usually the opening starter, returns to his fullback position, a position he has not occupied in an official match for almost a year. This tactical repositioning reflects the ' urgency to plug their flaws, while their defense has conceded 12 tries in three matches this year. For their part, the Irish formalized a major offensive reorganization by entrusting the keys to the game to Sam Prendergast, 22, at the opening.
