Australia scrum-half Nic White says there’s”undoubtedly more to come” in the backs in their World Cup quarter-final from England.
The British forward have been winning the plaudits so far, however, White says the backline is really a”force to be reckoned with”.
The Wallabies ended second in Pool D by unconvincing and Wales wins over Georgia, Uruguay and Fiji.
“As a team along with a backline, we are confident we are doing well”, he said.
At the final pool match against Georgia, a side renowned for a pack dominated the flashes, the breakdown and set-piece, just for its backs to suffer cohesion issues.
Part of the reason could be that head coach Michael Cheika has chosen three distinct halfback combinations from the four Pool D matches, with fly-half Christian Lealiifano stating he does not know whether the rotation is a”strength”.
“We’re attempting to focus on getting our very best combinations that we feel will put our best game on the market,” Lealiifano stated.
“There’s a few distinct combinations in there.”
But, Cheika’s preferred partnership in midfield has been Samu Kerevi in James O’Connor, along with the former has beat more defenders (20) than any other centre in the championship up to now.
Kerevi’s effectiveness will be a true threat to the Wallabies and the 26-year-old has taken on greater defenders than England’s leading two exponents in the centres joint (Manu Tuilagi 9, Jonathan Joseph 8).
