Agree. Nick Frost has been central to our pack. Maybe try and give him a spell in the second half if possible. I would like to see AAA and Slipper come back in if fit. The scrum could be a point of difference. If they are fit, start with them and then bring on TT and Bell early in the second.

He is very good in traffic and can often slip a tackle or two and get the ball away.

3. Ikitau 2. Wilson 1. JAS

I think they rest Lynagh this week anyway due to the head knock, even if he has passed the protocols. Start JOC (James O'Connor) with Donaldson on the bench if fit. Lynagh brings the most structure. His kicking is generally very good(better than the other options) although he has missed a couple of clutch kicks...

Yes. Showed great ticker. Our worst performance for a while but still managed a win. There is a lot to like about that.

He was good but his box kicks were too deep. He changed up the speed of the game and the Argies could not keep up. Fair play.

Good to get the win and we came home much stronger. Lacked structure in our game in the first 40. We will need to be much better in Sydney. Great grit and determination shown from all 23. Well done!!

Kellaway is a good choice. Stable player who takes good options and proven at test level in between the two tearaways. The bloke always performs.

Now that the Giteau law has been abandoned all OS clubs should know that we may call on Australian players during test windows. Simple as that. Of course it is good to build relationships with the clubs but ultimately we want access to our test players. Argentina manage it very well, I imagine...

Yes, I thought the ref was very quick to call at the breakdown for the US but not for us. Could be we were transgressing? It was a game we probably should have won. Hope we sneak through.

To carry out a structured game plan Lynagh would be first choice(not including Lolesio). JOC (James O'Connor) will be perfect on the bench to do what he does at the Saders.

I imagine that there is a bit of give and take both ways. With the RWC coming up I am sure Joe is laying the groundwork for there to be good co-operation in the lead up. Now with the Giteau Law buried those OS clubs that contract Australian players should know that they may be called on in the...

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) to take his starting spot. Skeltons weight and size maybe not as effective against the likes of Argentina and the ABs who have more mobile packs? Lukhan also brings a lot to the lineout. Amatosero another option to join the squad.

It’s odd but not just one offs. There are multiple cases in the one game where SA tacklers are trying to cause bodily harm to the player with the ball. I mean head injuries or serious leg injuries. There is no place in the game for it some say. Apparently there is?

Complete disaster? Not quite and our own lineout has been very strong in recent times No point taking shots if you are not hitting them.
