Australia’s forward pack has faced growing scrutiny throughout the tournament, but the star fullback isn’t having any of it.
Australian Kangaroos fullback Reece Walsh has defended his team's forward pack, stating that the engine room has been disrespected by outside scrutiny during the World Cup. The Kangaroos' forwards faced criticism following matches against New Zealand and Fiji, including remarks from commentator Trent Robinson suggesting Australia had been outmuscled.
Walsh credited the forward pack's relentless effort, work ethic, and attention to detail as the primary reason for Australia's undefeated run. Kangaroos forward Liam Martin echoed Walsh's confidence, noting the squad takes external criticism personally as they prepare to face Samoa in the semi-finals at Allianz Stadium.
