@W32 very wise. Can’t imagine facing that pineapple sober

Won't need to worry about facing it.

[W32]

Strategy for this game: Don't kick, bludgeon up the middle, scrum them to death.

Argentina make 7 changes to Springbok slayers with enforcer ruled out

Argentina head coach Felipe Contepomi has made seven changes to the team that triumphed over South Africa last week...

15 Santiago Carreras, 14 Rodrigo Isgro, 13 Matais Moroni, 12 Santiago Chocobares, 11 Mateo Carreras, 10 Tomas Albornoz, 9 Gonzalo Garcia, 8 Joaquin Oviedo, 7 Santiago Grondona, 6 Juan Martín Gonzalez, 5 Tomás Lavanini, 4 Pedro Rubiolo, 3 Joel Sclavi, 2 Julian Montoya, 1 Thomas Gallo

Reserves: 16 Ignacio Ruiz, 17 Ignacio Calles, 18 Pedro Delgado, 19 Franco Molina, 20 Pablo Matera, 21 Lautaro Bazan Velez, 22 Lucio Cinti, 23 Juan Cruz Mallia

[W32]

7 changes is a lot for a winning team to make. Is Contepomi blooding new players because he knows the championship is lost, or is this an actual plan with a strategy to win? I don't really know a lot of these players.

Sure it's test rugby, but nobody wants to have that pineapple on their conscience.

that's a strange euphemism for hairy back passage.

Are you allowed to jump over the ruck like that? Brilliant attempt by Argie 10 anyway.

Fark me Argie in support just building phases. Not afraid to take them on. Nice heads up play to score that try

I find it really hard to agree when there is so much blocking by opposition offside players.
