Rugby Championship 2025: Wallabies v Argentina

[Sully]

He was usurped by Lynagh and O'Connor prior to his injury

Still injured.

 

[James Ryan]

Minimal changes other than Slipper starting and Ala'alatoa coming onto the bench if both are fit. If either aren't available then Robertson and Nonggorr in respectively.

Even though he's been cleared to play, I'm very cautious about Lynagh considering the repeated nature of his concussions this year. The last thing anyone wants is a Will Pucovski situation. If Schmidt and co are confident he's good to go then he starts with O'Connor on the bench, if not then either Edmed or Donaldson (if available) start with O'Connor on the bench. I like the impact he brings late game so give one of the younger guys a run and bring in the old bull to close the game.

Probably time to get back to class kids.

You shoot one fox, another one takes it's place.

You shoot one fox, another one takes it's place.

They don't even allow corporal punishment anymore so the chances of us being able to shoot these kids for their dumb posts is pretty low.

Cyclopath has more moderator tools than I do though so who knows what he has up his sleeve.

I like it, let's find our best #10! I reckon Harry Wilson is a go though, and can wear his normal #8 jersey (instead of Harford). We know he can kick

Lonergan out? Or preparing for whites delayed retirement?

 

[Brumby Runner]

Not giving Donaldson a crack here was a missed opportunity.

Could perhaps replace Stewart, in one of the two spots he's been nominated?
