Today is an opportunity for Schmidt to take a look at the wider pool of talent at his disposal, against an opponent Australia are expected to beat comfortably. The real measure of any progress comes next month when the Springboks roll into town.
But while Georgia are not yet a top tier rugby nation, they will be no pushover. Ranked 12th in the world (Australia are not far off in ninth) they upset Eddie Jones’ Japan last week, and before that lost narrowly to Fiji.
This afternoon marks the latest step in the evolution of the Wallabies under Joe Schmidt, and after back-to-back wins over Wales there is some rare optimism in rugby circles.
The Australia Wallabies will look to continue their unbeaten start under new coach Joe Schmidt when they have a rematch from the pool stage of last year's World Cup against Georgia.
In what was a poor showing from Australia overall, the Wallabies did manage to defeat Georgia in Paris, and will be looking for a similar result here as they look to continue their momentum ahead of next months Rugby Championship.
They are two from two in Test matches under Joe Schmidt, having defeated Wales twice in Sydney and in Melbourne.
