@NTA JOC is 32 ... surely you want him there in the squad? Shades of leaving Giteau behidn in 2011

There's still time but this season JOC has looked washed - Giteau was still in his 20s in 2011.

Yup probably a similar script to last game, I reckon

Will depend on discipline - Wallabies have been slow to start and often caught on the wrong side of the whistle. That reversed in the second half as the Pumas felt the lash of Adamson's hatred.

If the Pumas clean up a bit of their defence it could turn around I think.

I'll be sitting on the couch Sunday morning, quietly enjoying the fact that my rugby season is over. Thank fuck.

Wallabies injury curse strikes again: Fainga’a out, Pollard to debut

Rookie pair Lachlan Lonergan and Billy Pollard have been promoted after Wallabies hooker Folau Fainga’a suffered a concussion at training.

The Wallabies will do another sweep for black cats and broken mirrors after concussed hooker Folau Fainga’a became the latest withdrawal from the second Test against Argentina, forcing Lachlan Lonergan to start and Billy Pollard onto the bench for a potential debut.

After a two-week tour that has already seen Dave Porecki, Michael Hooper, Quade Cooper, Hunter Paisami and Allan Ala’alatoa all fly home, Fainga’a suffered a head knock at the Wallabies’ training session on Thursday. He reported symptoms and failed a test on Friday morning.

An injury curse is preferable to a coach curse.

More an Admin curse than a Coach curse.

Oh right - Lonergan is 2 and Pollard is 18 or 19. Farken hell.... what a time to debut.

[ACT Crusader]

Fast start for the Pumas with two quick tries.

Now Wallabies hit back with a good lineout move and run by Valetini and Slipper gets the try

[MiketheSnow]

Rip roaring start

Arg 14-7 Aus

[Bones]

Juan Imhoff and Wylie Human are the wingers in my best names XV.

[African Monkey]

Anthony Seibold on the panel??

[Bones]

That's absolutely amazing by de la Fuente. I've never seen anything like it. What a boss.

[Bones]

Isn't it interesting to see what happens when you chase a kick.

[Bones]

Petaia does have Bridge like abilities at times.

Fuck Mehrtens is even more of a tard than Marshall.

[Bones]

Shut up Andrew, you're embarrassing yourself.

[Bones]

Argentina might be even more fun to watch than France when they turn up.

[Bones]

Dickson just lost the plot. Argue LH tackled short. Wrestles half out of two tacklers to get back up and dives over the line, still held. Try 🤦
