  • Springboks and All Blacks Seek Psychological Blow
    Sports FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2013 Genia’s yo-yo Photo of the day season takes an upward turn ROSARIO: Australia scrum-half Will Genia’s yo-yo season took an upward turn when he was recalled for tomorrow’s Rugby Championship Test in Argentina. Genia comes in for Nic White in the only change to the starting line-up from that beaten 28- 8 by South Africa in Cape Town last weekend. White drops to the bench for the wooden-spoon showdown at Estadio Gigante de Arroyito in Rosario, 300 kilometers north west of Buenos Aires. There is also one change among the replacements with utility back Bernard Foley coming in for Chris Feauai-Sautia, scorer of the Wallaby try against the Springboks. Papua New Guinea-born Genia, 25, has skippered Australia this year in the absence of injured lock James Horwill. But he was axed by coach Ewen McKenzie after leading the Wallabies in a humili- ating 26-point drubbing by South Africa in Brisbane. White impressed sufficiently to stay on the pitch for the full 80 minutes as Australia squeezed a 14-13 home win over the Pumas in a dour duel. But his field-kicking came unstuck in Cape Town and the Wallabies fared far better when Genia came on for the second half. McKenzie, a Super Rugby title- winning coach with the Queensland Reds, replaced New Zealander Robbie Deans after a 2-1 series loss to the British and Irish Lions. But the former Wallaby prop has experienced a baptism of fire with home and away reverses against the New Zealand All Blacks and the Springboks.
