Australia vs. Argentina 2023

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.

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
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.

Important match in the context of the RWC
Highly likely QF match up
You picking Aus to make to the QFs?

I'll be really disappointed if Wales do a Nantes '99 again, so I see us going through second after our customary loss to Australia at the group stage
So that would mean Australia having to lose to both Fiji and Georgia to fail to progess to the knockout stage
Can't see that happening

@Bones I wonder if there's some dodgy reality-TV style editing going on, showing a clip of him raging about something unrelated 10 minutes earlier to make him look a bit unhinged
Was chatting with Mrs Boo about Cheika earlier, and her wondering just how someone gets so angry.
I mentioned a chat I had with a local physio here in The Bay who played club footy in Sydney contemporaneously with Cheika who said the image of him being the angry Lebanese guy is absolutely correct. What you see is him. Believe what you see apparently.

One of these days a player is going to say "look at me!", do a spectacular dive ....and drop the ball
Nah, never happen
