The game will be a "friendly" :face_screaming_in_fear:
Couldn't give a stuff abut the result
More interested in the team Los Pumas put out and how they perform
"Test Matches" mean nothing in a RWC year except for the big dance of course
I'd be rather excited if my team finally beat a team that have never been able to beat before.
Or has your lot beaten us previously?

AFAIK Los Pumas have never beaten All Blacks
Beating them in a meaningless game in 2019 TRC will mean little
COMPARED to beating Crusaders in C'church in a Super Rugby final
That would be the greatest victory in the history of Super Rugby and make International news as Jaguares would be effectively be beating an All Blacks side in their own backyard
Plus how bloody good would it be to beat FOUR kiwi sides in a Super Rugby season
Stormers in 2010 were last team to beat 4 NZ times, heck they beat all 5 NZ teams & Bulls beat 4 NZ sides as well in Super Rugby
However SA sides were much stronger in those days & Kiwis sides much weaker then
Landers were :pile_of_poo: Blues were :pile_of_poo: & Canes were mediocre

So you're saying a Super Rugby win is worth more than a Test match win against a team you've never ever beaten previously ? wow.

hhhmm, so if the Pumas playing ABs in BA in TRC is so meaningless, why are they in TRC at all...

Yes I am
Los Pumas beating AB missing nearly half their matchday 23 would be mean little compared to making history and shattering the invincibility of the Crusaders
To be the best you have to beat the best Saders have set the standard in Super Rugby
Jaguares need to knock them off their fucking perch
Jaguares battered the Hurricanes in their last game in NZ
Time to go one better :oncoming_fist: :oncoming_fist:

TRC means fuck all in RWC year
They are Friendlies and Trial matches for those looking for a spot in 31 man squad to be decide in August
BIGGER PRIZE ahead

Well I was struggling to get too excited for the inevitable Crusaders victory, a few posts above have helped with that...

Agreed.
This should provide Ennor with his chance to be a squaddie. It also means that Laumape will get a better chance for a WC spot. I’ll be surprised if they go back to Proctor (he breaks almost as much as Crotty) but does have the class and works well with Laumape.
At lock, I’d say Hemopo gets a good look at the lock/six and I agree that they could/should bring in IWL (on form) or PPP (on size/talent).
I also think it makes Fifita relatively safe for now.

Could be, but what I wrote is that due to Barrett's injury I think that Fifita's place in the squad is now probably safe. I wouldn't pick him, but I think he will be picked.

so, Crotty out for upto 8 weeks, Scott Barrett upto 6...both with breaks in thier hands.
Changes things.

That sums up his career over the last few season. Made of glass.

It will be interesting to see who comes in the AB squad announced tonight to replace Crotty and S Barrett.
My first thought is they might lean on bringing in a 13 rather than a 12 to replace Crotty as they already have plenty of cover for 12 (ALB, Laumape, SBW, Goodhue can play 12) whereas not as much at 13.
The names that come to mind for 13 would be Ennor or Proctor.
For Barrett I'd assume they'd replace him with a lock (rather than a 6) so someone like IWL, Franklin or Parkinson?

Proctor would have to be the next rated midfielder after the top 5. He's been there before (vs Japan) and Ennor showed he isn't ready as a centre yet.
Rieko could be used again as midfield cover.

@taniwharugby TJ Faiane - covers 12/13. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
@KiwiMurph I think that is tongue in cheek but he is not good enough.

@NTA @barbarian @antipodean great news Wallaby fans, your season is saved!! James O'Connor. Yes, that's right the James O'Connor has put pen to paper and is eligible for the Wallabies again this year. Your worries are a thing of the past.
Superb.
Enough of these Bible-bashing Folau types; back to good old, over-privileged white boy, cocaine-fuelled bad haircut shenaningans.

In the old days all the Coke they got through was just to add finish to the Bundies!
