So White/Foley for TRC 1, Genia/Lilo for TRC 2, White/Lilo for Bled 1. Any guesses who the halves will be for Bled 2? JOC (James O'Connor) auditioning for backup 13. Competing with Hodge and To'omua for last spot on the plane, so giving the three of them lots of time.

Seriously people. This is a world cup year and there is three tests left. There is going to be rotation. We need to know out best team, but we need to know who is the backup in case of injury too. There will be rotation and experimentation.

Slight error by Reg. It's the coach driver that's the big fan.

Half of these quality players haven't been available for the last couple of years though?

Bit of redundancy if someone gets injured. They will have an understudy who knows the plays, calls and strategy ready to cover every player in the squad

On rugby ruckus Turinui thought that taf would be on the plane because of his ability to cover prop in an emergency

His calf? Seriously though, back running at full pace last week, so they want to get some match time into him ASAP. Hopefully that closely monitored work has paid off.

Bond v Sunnybank match stream is here if anyone wants to see how he wwnt

it's sure been a while. Probably worth giving Coleman a crack but think Simmons has done exactly what has been asked of him. Secure the first phase (lineouts, scrum and kickoff), and hasn't done anything stupid, which is exactly what you need in the last 10

Still can't get over the Luke Jones penalty at around 72 mins. One of the dumbest things I've ever seen on a rugby field. Your team is leading comfortably, and dealing with the opposition attack relatively easily. You're finally back on the park after 3 years away. And you give away the softest...

Anyone have the stat for time.or tackles in the opposition 22? We dealt with the Argie attack relatively easily, but didn't really put them under too much pressure either

The test on 10 - 232k. On Fox 116k NZ v SA 109k Pretty terrible

Argentina just broke the record for most turnovers, 30, in a TRC game (I think?!) so any assesment of players or systems does need to take that into account. Good teams won't be so generous

Pretty massive change in attack structure yesterday. Genia and White were clearly making the play. I reckon it's a much better setup and suits our players. Looking at the stats, the 9s passed 71 times last night and 69 times against South Africa Foley passes 28 times and ran it 13. CLL passed...

31599 at Suncorp for Argentina v Wallabies. @qantaswallabies: IT’S A RECORD! 31559 is now the highest ever home crowd against Los Pumas in The Rugby Championships. #AUSvARG #GoldBlooded https://t.co/ShZfvlCl23

It's as good a place as any to find candidates for good coaches but the reality is there's a huge gulf between coaching semi-pros in the Shute Shield and going up against the best in the business in Super Rugby. The reality is probably we don't have a pathway that can develop good enough head...

McKenzie is a Victorian which is pretty much a foreigner in Australian Rugby! (And look what happened to him.......)

As long as CLL puts away the stupid little grubber directly into the opposition he'll go OK.

Have we ever played a better team that have lost 19 of their last 22 games?

If Jones stuck around he probably plays almost every one of those tests of Hanigan.
