Watching Randwick v Argentina at the moment on delay.
22 minutes in the visitors are up 14-0 after a scrappy start.
Argies win 74-zip.
Some good stuff from Randwick, including the assistance of Andrew Walker (at 45yo) and some young guys like Christian Poidevin (son of Poido) and Will Harrison who recently took the U20s to the final.
But it was professionals versus amateurs for the most part.
-
Randwick have peen a bit below their previous standards for a cople of years now in the Shute Shield. Did they have a few ring ins to bolster their team (assuming they also had some players taking part in the Aussie NRC) or did they go with their regulars?

And we're off.

4 year cycle and we could easily be going to the WC with Biggar and a great prospect Jarrod Evans who just hasn't had enough game time
-
@MiketheSnow and Biggest has poor self-preservation instincts. One of the reasons I like him as a player, but is definitely going to give Welsh fans a few hearth in mouth moments during the tournament
