    I’m really looking forward to the Wallaby Puma game, might Ben a game I can actually enjoy. I wonder what the mood around camp will be like next few weeks.

    It is astounding how much I'll cheer the Pumas that game.
    They've won me over.

    That looked like a team that was poorly coached and poorly prepared.

    It's the mental attitude and senior player leadership which seems the problem for me and that's been going downhill for several years.

    And I'm not sure if Foster is the one to sort that out.

    @nostrildamus Reiko is not a test centre. He is one of the best wings in the world however. Taking JG off today was a mistake.

    Aussies will smash them next week as Argentina will be drinking litres and litres of red wine

    They're up at the Hunter Valley so should have a few tours on offer.

    How did Hansen support this piston wristed gibbon, I am starting to think he was having a laugh.

    He knew it'd make his last 4 years look better by comparison

    The Argies are generally a likeable team. I used to like them even during the Porta years when he was the only back above 9 allowed to join in..

    @kev yes I can believe that. Good centres take time. I still think he has potential but perhaps he'll always be an unstable combination of excitement and utter dumb shite machine..

    @akan004 It’s because they are running off an old template of a speed game with light back-like loose forwards running oppositions ragged. Three problems with that - one, you need to win first phase possession, two you need to be competitive at the breakdown and three, you need a strategy that has not already been on show for five years. This is very ordinary and unimaginative coaching. It’s like when Tim Cook took over from Steve Jobs at Apple. The thinking was ‘we have a winning formula. Just keep on churning out product based on the same template that the rest of the world has already worked out years ago’. It’s stale thinking from mediocrities standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before and enabled by conservative money men who are chained to what they think is a winning formula.

    I would love to hear what BB really thinks of Foster and what has happened the last few years. I have a sneaking suspicion behind closed doors he thinks foster is a fluffybunny. This no doubt creeps into the culture of players etc and may help explain why he has just been off for some time.

    @nostrildamus he can do that at the level below. In tests we need him to do his core roles well.

    Can't argue with you kev. 13 is a key position and I liked JG there last year (just wish he was a bit quicker)

    Foster is pathetic. And don't forget Cane. The big win against the wallabies was clearly an aberration. Cane is a very, very poor Captain

    if not Cane then who as Captain? SW? Doesn't he have enough on his shoulders? The only other certainty is arguably A Smith?
