Who does Kurtley Beale think should be Wallabies captain? - The Roar Rugby Podcast
Who does Kurtley Beale think should be Wallabies captain? Matt Toomua put the question to the 95-capped veteran on the Roar Rugby Podcast! LISTEN:…
Australian rugby has suffered without a notable goal kicker. Matt Burke held down the fort for years before Elton Flatley steered the Wallabies into a World Cup final.
Sterling Mortlock kicked in the low 80% range but has struggled so far this season with the Brumbies and appears to be the twilight of his Wallabies career.
So, what about Brock James? Are the Wallabies seriously thinking on embarking on another World Cup campaign with Giteau kicking at 73%? There’s no debating the fact that Giteau is a certain starter, however, his place kicking is not on the same level as the likes of Dan Carter, Morne Steyne or Johnny Wilkinson.
Robbie Deans has been in talks with Dan Vickerman in order to have him back for his leadership and ability in set piece, but what measure is he taking to have our goal kicking in order. Giteau has plenty on his plate, the last pressure he needs is that of extra points.
Brock James has been kicking consistently for Clermont in the French Top 14. His percentage is well into the 80’s. He also holds the record for most consecutive place kicks in a season at 41. Anyone who’s watched him play lately could also comment on his superb form particularly in their most recent game against Perpignon. He should certainly be an asset for the Wallabies to consider, however, seems to be the point-scoring machine they’re not interested in.
