Will Genia is making the case that Australia's best counter to Springbok physicality at a home World Cup is a midfield built around Samu Kerevi and Joseph Suaalii. The argument centres on matching South Africa's power game with an equally imposing midfield rather than trying to outmanoeuvre the Boks with finesse alone.
It's a pragmatic take from Genia — essentially conceding that the Wallabies need to meet the Boks on their own terms up the middle of the park. Whether Australian rugby's selectors and systems can deliver that combination by 2027 is the real question, and it's worth reading the full piece for Genia's reasoning on why Kerevi specifically is the missing piece.
