<p>So I take it Ofa Tu'ungafasi will definitely be in with Franks likely to be suspended? Hmmm...</p>

<p>Geez, what do the Franks boys have on SANZAAR? Not the first time they've gotten away with murder.</p> -

Frank's has gotten dirtier and dirtier in the last 4 years.<br><br><br><br>
On topic id just play the same team. Maybe give Ardie a start but other than that this Argie team deserves a full strength ABS team. We could probably beat them ringing the changes but id rather not fuck about too much.<br><br>

Yep. These guys aren't easy-beats anymore. I reckon we have to have a side at least 80% full strength or there could be problems. -

<p>Yeah, we're still trying to bed in a relatively new set of starting inside backs (10, 12, 13), and openside. I'd just be grateful we've been able to do that so effectively, but not tempt fate by messing further... just give it even more time to keep rolling. I'd consider some bench experimentation though.</p>

Is that the only footage of it? Big difference between a facial and eye gouging. Im sure the reaction from the wallabies player would have been very different if it was an eye gouge and as far as i can remember there was no allegation at the time. -
<p>maybe Chieka doesnt know the difference between moaning to the media about something and actually making a formal complaint?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dont they have 24 hours to cite someone anyway?</p> -

<p>Well if the Aussies did not report Franks there must not have been an eye gouge despite it looking bad. </p> -
Other than the potential return of one or two injured players, I'd prefer them to give the bench players more of a run - a full half, provided the score line warrants it - than to make changes to the starting lineup.

Based on the scrum I saw this morning from the Bokke, better the Argies than South Africa. -

<p>I didn't think teams were referring incidents any more? That it was purely up to an independent reviewer.</p> -
