No Bridge? Dry powder.
It’s only a friendly
Big picture: the game is largely meaningless in a RWC Year
I'm looking for a very good performance

@Jaguares4real largely meaningless in a world cup year, largely meaningless between world cup years. Got it.

Good test for Atu Moli against Juan Figallo. If he holds his own in the set scrums and shows what he can do in the loose, he'll be on the plane to Japan.
The Jags scrum has been ordinary in the games I watched (I didn't see the final so can't comment on that). In the two games the Chiefs played against them the Chiefs had an obvious advantage. We will find out whether the addition of Figallo makes a huge difference to the Pumas' scrum.

Figallo is a big step up, but Argies best LHs are in Europe.

Speaking from experience when I played on the wing it was always on the left. Not only am I left-footed but it is easier to step off your dominant foot.
There aren't many top players who are comfortable playing on both wings and you still see players kick with the in-step of their dominant foot because they can't kick with the other foot.

Many of best 11s were left footed. Two lefties which come to mnd are Jonah and Piutau.

Reece is bloody lucky.
- no utility value
- not particularly good defense
- good fortune of being on the end of a dominant team's backline at Super level
- outside the AB center at Super rugby level

They are looking for a bit of NMS X-factor.

Who are these Europe based Puma looseheads?
Only guy I can think of is Facundo Gigena- Leicester Tigers who is only starting to establish himself in 1st team squad
He's learning from good players over there Time will tell where his career goes

Re the preferred wing thing I agree that it just comes down to whether you feel you can be effective based on what comes naturally.
Opposite to some above, if I played wing I much preferred the left (not surprising to some
) despite being right side strong simply because I liked to try and gas the defender on the outside so stepping off the right provided the initial burst. -

No Bridge? Dry powder.
Along with the Akira powder which still hasn’t even left the shop.
Playing Jordie at 11 instead of his rightful position of 12 is also a very shrewd ploy to keep the powder dry.

I think that is more a case of drilling exploration holes to try and discover some powder.
Can’t really comment on wing but i always had a preference for packing down in scrums on the left side of my other lock. So my right arm was around them. Im right handed so probably felt like a more secure bind.
Always prefered the wind coming right to left while bowling in cricket too. That’s because i mainly bowl outswing. I think this was largely a mental thing though. Unless it was a strong wind. -

From Dictionary . com:
What does
mean?The eyes emoji has many uses. It mostly serves to draw attention to something the user wants to highlight, especially in situations that involve drama and interpersonal tension. It can also be an emoji representation of shifty eyes or the action of side-eyeing. This emoji sometimes appears when someone finds a person attractive.
From emojipedia:
EyesA pair of eyes, glancing slightly to the left on most platforms. The Google version of this emoji previously showed only a single eye, despite the name of this character being eyes (plural).
Sometimes used to indicate ‘pervy eyes’ to indicate approval of an attractive photo posted online; or ‘shifty eyes’ to convey a deceitful act.
