Argentina Two: Newcastle, 28 November

[Dice]

Will Jordan has always made rugby look easy.

[Frank]

Fozzie will figure out Peter Umaga Jensen is the solution to the midfield lack of punch next year.

[Kirwan]

Jordan can play that fullback wing role they want. With him and Clarke on the wings, that’s sorted.

Fozzie will have Will Jordan and Caleb Clarke battle out for the final wing spot behind Jordie Barrett.

Don't be ridiculous. Bridge will walk back into the team when he's fit again.

[Canes4life]

@Frank nah he won’t figure that one out until 2022.

And Jordie at FB. Back three sorted

And his brother at 10.

Good win considering how much ball we kicked away. Especially when it continued into the second half.

It's hard to take much away from that match. 10 changes for Argentina and their 3rd game on the trot. Good way to finish the season but I'm glad some of the young guys will get another year of Super rugby under their belt before taking on some of the big boys (pending covid allowing that to happen)

Not sure why players who score points at the end of the test match are treated like gods.

I guess simply because the players can unload all their channeled energy at the end of the game

As frustrating as the back line 50/50s were they perhaps did their job in the game. That RG defense pattern was the best I’ve seen for 60 mins and we had to do something to make them guess. We were never going through or around them.

I feel a bit dirty, but did SB actually go OK at lock tonight?

Hahaha, fuck no.

[kpkanz]

@antipodean He's better than Jordie

Be nice if he put more pressure on the ref. He just needed to say you going to check them dumping me on the head?

Nice way to finish the year. That’s more like it.

Far from the finished article. But some promising signs

Really like the improvement in composure & patience in this game, particularly when things weren't going their way. Far less whooping and hooping - just got on with game. Senior players deserve a lot of the credit for that.

Really solid forward performance all-round. Backs need some serious thought. Mo'unga is just too inconsistent for me, BB's kicking didn't work out and not convinced by Goodhue at 13.

Another plus - the JB experiment has to end now.

Yes, excellent game tonight. No niggling, no stupid penalties, just carried and cleaned hard.

[KiwiMurph]

Think Tuipulotu might be better suited to the bench.
