All Blacks vs Pumas I

[Username]

Other than the potential return of one or two injured players, I'd prefer them to give the bench players more of a run - a full half, provided the score line warrants it - than to make changes to the starting lineup.

[Rembrandt]

Any chance they didn't report so as to give the ABs a better chance to beat Boks and Pumas and therefore increase Aussies chances of sneaking 2nd..or 3rd

Based on the scrum I saw this morning from the Bokke, better the Argies than South Africa.

<p>I didn't think teams were referring incidents any more? That it was purely up to an independent reviewer.</p>

This angle clears it up<br><br>

<p>Thats what his mates call him, you'd know that if you had breakfast with him.</p>

<p>The Argies won't be easy meat. They should have won more comfortably against the Boks if the referees had not let Mohoje go headhunting without a single warning. Jaco Kriel should have been yellowed as well for tackling a support player without the ball with the tryline beckoning (it could have been a penalty try as well).Du Toit has also strangled a Puma lock in a dangerous situation for his team.However, these Pumas are inferior to those who played the World Cup. They have lost Fernandez Lobbe, an intelligent and skilled player, worldclass loosehead prop Ayerza (and solid tighthead prop Figuello), worldclass winger Imhoff and the excellent Bosch.Those men make a big difference. Is Senatore still suspended ?</p>

<p>Hmmmmm... well the TAB are offering odds on winning TRC as follows:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ABs  $1.01</p>
<p>SA $15.00</p>
<p>Argies $51.00</p>
<p>Oz $81.00</p>

[NTA]

<p>They won't be offering anything after 20 minutes against the Argies.</p>

What did they, I mean you guys, order?

[NTA]

<p>Just watched highlights of Boks v Pumas - neither side really using any linespeed on defense. ABs will eat both teams alive, except maybe both of them can kick well enough to play 10-man rugby</p>

<p>All the talk of rotation is jumping the shark and getting a bit too ahead of ourselves. The Argies are a better team than the Welsh and there wasn't exactly much rotation even in the third June test, so I doubt we'll see much of anything here either.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Franks will definitely be gone though.</p>

<p>They need to rotate, it might only be 2/3 guys but there has to be some changes. They only get a few opportunities a year to assess players, this is one of them. </p>
