Wallabies v Pumas

Back row, 10/12 and back 3 look about the best balanced I’ve seen from Cheika.
Add to that the United Pacific Nations of Australia starting and bench front rows, two big locks - and this looks a decent side.

Pity about Hooper. I prefer him to Pocock. Better all round.
Still better balanced in backrow as mentioned.

@sapetyvi and the Argies seem to go big against the Boks and ABs the first three rounds, then fall on a heap against us.
The scheduling needs a shake up

Yep. They've usually well and truly blown their load by this stage. Aus comfortably.

To me Pocock is better in tight and in turnovers, and gets himself involved more, but is slower than me and I'm in my 50s! Hooper on the other hand is fast, and can hurt you from broken play. As always, all about getting the balance right.

I reckon the Argies have the firepower out wide to take this and as long as the forwards don't crumble have a great chance against what is hardly a Wallaby backline for the ages.

Watching Ozzies cry always brings a lump to the throat.

Small crowd.
Isnt it a bit stupid for the ARU to have 2 games in southeast QLD in successive weeks?

The indigenous jersey is far better. But the convicts couldn't stomach wearing that all the time.
Wallabies score, hmmm might be time to go to bed and at least get something good tonight.
