The state of the pitch
Cowfield
Oops, that was an U20 feed

Pumas defensive line must be right on the edge of offside...

And there it is. A penalty for the lead. Time almost up
Surprised they didn’t set for the drop goal before that
Just caught the end of the 10 minute highlights and they didn't show much of that phase, or a replay, but my first thoughts on seeing them camped under the posts was why weren't they setting for a droppie.

DID NOT SEE THAT COMING
And if Loelesi could kick it would have been easier
Argies look much better when they play 15 man rugby

Argies tried to shut up shop and it put too much pressure on their pack.
Solid win by the Wallabies in what was a very stop start game.
Schmidt debutante watch: Hamish Stewart who seems to have been around for ages gets test footy under Schmidt. That’s 13 debutantes this year for the Wallabies.

Loelesi is a handbrake
Time to throw Lynagh into the Lion’s Den
Then the Lions series

He doesn’t seem to play with any sort of surety or confidence. It’s almost painful to watch.
Lynagh will create more and yeah he might make some errors but he’s the future that needs to be fast tracked now.
Would be awesome for him to repeat what his old man did in 89 and start at 1st 5 against the Lions next year.

Surprised Edmed isn't getting a mention.

Surprised Edmed isn't getting a mention.
Next year he will be fighting it out with one of the U20 and establishment golden boys in Jack Bowen, who I personally don't rate at this point.
Both will have a better forward pack to play behind, so interesting to see what the outcome is.
Prefer Edmed

Was a cracking win. Very happy. In Argentina, in those conditions, in this economy? Brilliant.
Our pack was superb. Lineout and scrum functioned perfectly, and they muscled up at the ruck.
We're low on game-breaking talent but we are oversupplied with heart and brains at the moment. Generally the last ten years have been reversed in those categories.
