Australia vs. Argentina 2023
-
Enjoyed this test, although only really saw second half as I was watching ABVX play Japan. Not reallt a lot too add. Wallabies seem to be missing a spark somewhere. Noone really to set attack alight, and in modern game as shown a couple of times, you can't just go phase to phase, a couple of times after about 3 phases the Wallabies starting getting knocked over behind the gain line and by about 7th phase they had lost 20m.
I watched a little of the interviews after the game, I thought the blond bird doing the interview of Marky N was going to drop to knees and preform fellatio, talk about over the top hero worship!! -

Tom Wright is an unmitigated fuckwit
There's some player attitude issues there.
Did he lose his rag again? He was the one that lost his rag when he scored the try against the canes and threw the ball at a cane that had tried to tackle him.
It's more a general observation.
His Rugby League brain is still too dominant in his decision making.

@His-Bobness Not quite. NZ on 9 points. Saffa on 5.
A big win for them and a big loss for the All Blacks in Round 3 could mean they win. Mathematically possible for Argentina to win too. Unlikely but possible.
I think we only need a bonus point vs the Aussies (or the Boks not to get one) to win TRC. The first relevant tie-breaker is number of wins against other teams tied on the same number of points, so we have the Boks and Argies covered on that score.

Who is good for one colossal fuck up per game too.

I really like Tom Wright but man he just can’t rid his game of the brain farts. He’s not a test full back. Play him on the wing.

And several garden variety fuck ups as well

Wallabies have plenty of wings better than Wright too.
Going to be interesting what Wallabies do at 13 for Bledisloe
Queenslanders are screaming for Petaia

Wallabies are going to have an uphill battle beating the AB’s twice to lift the Bled..or win one draw one. But where they are was to be expected consequence of changing your coach just before the RWC. New approach, systems mixed in with more overseas players meant it was going to take them prob the Rugby Championship to start getting more cohesion. They’ve got too much talent to suck for much longer. I reckon they’ll still get to semis in RWC given the draw.

Where is Perese? Injured?
He had a really good partnership with Foketi going for Tahs.

He had a really good partnership with Foketi going for Tahs.
He was named in Eddie's squad and played the Tahs QF loss to Blues so should be available.
Good call - he will probably get a go. Bit one dimensional but at least a proper centre who has played 13 for the past few years.

given the draw.
And that will always be the asterisk.
Right now I don't think we are a sure thing of beating Wales.
