Other than the Beale/Foley "joker" card. I'd be happy running out White with Lolesio, and try to hold Tate and JOC (James O'Connor) on the bench. Edit: given there has been actual discussion about a possible Beale return to the WBs, it is hard to imagine a more convincing set of circumstances than this, for...

There has been plenty of speculation, but as far as I can tell in terms of real information Thorn holds a completely clean sheet. Where there is smoke etc, but so far nothing real is out in the open.

Viking, correct me if I am reading the recent history incorrectly, but McReight had a clean sheet and one penalty in his two games against Argentina. In the three games against England, Hooper was responsible for 4 penalties with no clean sheets. Is that right? It is pretty usual for the role...

Unfortunately this has to be the case. We can't be heading into a RWC with JOC (James O'Connor), Lolesio and Hodge as the fly half options - at least not without trying to get someone else involved. Of course that could be Foley or Beale. In terms of these options, as we currently see them, fingers crossed...

I'm pretty confident your vote won't be added - this thread is meant to be taken pretty factually.

From today I wouldn't cast doubt on that adage.

Interesting the different takes here. I thought the line out less than ideal, Lonergan never did anything like a crooked throw but Pumas had pilfers, WBs frequently resorted to jumping at 2 (even for maul setup) and the quality of the ball delivery needs to be better. There is a lot happening...

JOC (James O'Connor) made more tackles than all but 2 of the pack - you wonder (don't need to go too deep) as to how much protection he got. He passed a lot more than our FHs have been for a while (including Quade), but (like White) was frequently force to run when our structure and lack of go forward could not...

Anyone here understand how streaming systems operate? I had a couple of lock-ups with Stan this and last week. Not really complaining. But I ended up swapping between my lap top and the TV. Consistently the laptop is something like 10s to 15s ahead of the TV stream. Again, not a big issue I'm...

Trying to take a logical look at when you did start watching - 6:00am ish? Against a kick off at something just after 5:00am. One hour earlier? No doubt jumping over the half time spoiler means you get to watch AB v Bok without foreknowledge, which is a good thing.

I understand a desire to cover rugby in a rugby broadcast. Nonetheless it is pretty obvious with the broadcast timing, that there would be plenty of viewers who were holding the record button for the earlier match. Pretty disrespectful for those who get up to watch the feed live.

Stats are kind if interesting. https://www.espn.co.uk/rugby/playerstats?gameId=595485&league=244293 Possession roughly equal, though the Pumas with the advantage in the second half. Territory overwhelming to Australia! Pumas had to do a lot more tackling and both teams tackle success was pretty...

Maybe not so much - once the injured return?

Deservedly so.

Think it's unfair picking specific players here. JOC (James O'Connor) did not lose that game. It was won through different playing styles and the Pumas enforcing their nature on the game. Aided by the Wallabies with a) less than ideal set piece b) slow to structure in D on turnover or the high ball c) poor...

Huge game for the Pumas. Where to for Rennie's men?

Or not. Swallows and all that.

Pumas deserve this score line.

A WB win is starting to look unlikely. They need to pick up the momentum.
