Has Schmidt finally had enough of Lolesio stinking up the place and gone for his own version of Plummer to steady the ship?

From the article:
Ben Donaldson also starts at flyhalf after Noah Lolesio was ruled out (back)
-
Great to see Josh Canham included. Could not believe he, Tizzano and Toole missed out on Early squad. Those 3, Flook and Jorgenson all appeal as long term Wallabies.
-
And Lynagh on bench
FinallyAus have a really nice blend of youth and experience developing

@Bovidae Perhaps it's the inspired selection forced on him..?
-
Lively start from both sides
Looks perfect conditions
Argentina 3 - 3 Australia

Great first try from Australia
Donaldson is gliding through
Great support play
Tazano over
Argentina 3 - 10 Australia

Argentina straight back at the Aussies from a poor kick off
Penalty
Argies take the tap and go over
But whistled back for obstruction and blocking
Unnecessary from Argentina. A waste
Argentina 3 - 10 Australia
18 mins -
Aussies looking comfortable
Eating up the metres and moving the Argies around
Argentina 3 - 13 Australia
22 mins -
Hot out there, but the water breaks are favouring the Argies
They're puffing
-
Slick passing from the Argies but when it mattered great tackling from Oz and great clearing of their lines
-
Great thrust from Bell then a switch to the blindside and some crisp passing puts Kellaway over
Fabulous
Donaldson having his best match in green & gold
Argentina 3 - 20 Australia

@MiketheSnow do Oz look like the Bledisloe will be a contest? Are they showing signs of improvement overall from the Bok games? Confidence appears to be returning at least.

Definitely
This is a really good first half
You'd expect NZ to win both but the way things are going who the hell knows
-
Half time
Very entertaining and open test
Argentina 17 - 20 Australia
-
Big scrum from the Argies. Penalty. Kick to the corner.
