Only one specialist lock in the Pumas lineup. This could cost them dearly.
Against the Wobblies lineout?
I'll answer after the game.

I think Nick's point is made by the fact Squire is used as back up for locks against Oz, whereas Romano is deemed necessary against Boks/Argies.
Quade is a deeply flawed player and not one I'd want to have to select as first choice, but he is skilled, and not just for the Reds. Quite a few of his tricks showcased for OZ in 2013:
Key take home is that Cooper can be an international 10, whereas Foley is a carthorse by comparison.
Will be watching with interest.

Holy fuck did they just say this will be Rob Simmons' 64th test? If ever there was a damning indictment of the state of Australian rugby it's that. 63 shit games and he's still in the team.

They flashed up a comparison of Pocock vs Isa.

They showed the pack weights earlier. Aussies considerably heavier than the Argies.
Don't think any of their rear five Forwards are over 115kg?

Anyone else think the last passfor the first try was forward? Looked like Barnes was going to blow his whistle then remembered he only calls gorward passes when its the ABs throwing in backwards.
Don't know how Genia didn't knock that ball on in the lead up to his try.
Argentina sucking pretty bad so far.
WALLABIES ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!
