Next and last opponent of France as part of this preparation for the World Cup, Australia should be deprived of its best interior, Jock Landale, and his participation in the World Cup is even very uncertain. Passed from the Suns to the Rockets this summer for a nice contract of 32 million dollars over four years, Landale injured his left ankle in the 5th minute of the match against South Sudan, played at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.
The problem for Landale is that he missed the games against Brazil and Venezuela with a problem in the same ankle. The pivot of the Boomers joined the bench where there were already two injured: captain Chris Goulding and Joe Ingles, both with knee injuries.
In their absence, Matisse Thybulle (17 points) and Duop Reath (15 points) stood out from the bench against a very weak opponent, ranked 62nd in the FIBA ranking. Winner 88-67 for this last home game, Australia leaves for Japan to challenge France on Sunday morning (6am, French time)
