We have given plenty of forward passes already. One at least pulled up.

What is the water break BS? It's only 26 degrees at kick off.

Petaia clutching the knee

Advantage is short!

Exit not a real win from the start.

I assume the boxes are 100% resulting in making up number cut by ruthlessness in what we can see. Poor look.

That stadium is 75% after initially sold out? Serious?

https://www.rugby.com.au/news/the-rugby-championship-wallabies-argentina-dave-rennie-marika-koroibete-injury-challenge-for-jordan-petaia-2021101 This article suggests it will be 14 running the Koroibete role.

It's been interesting cogitating this, BH. I would think that the play books and game expectations will be massaged, but surely some continuity to parts of the thinking? I'd imagine a) the same expectations regarding work ethic and speed doubling behind the line to create overlap; b) If...

I've been corrected by Nomad. Still think that it tends to align that way. Either way the difference in playing intent seems locked in terms of how we are playing them. Plenty are suggesting it. Still wishing Kellaway all the best at 11.

You don't think that Left wing is blind wing more often than not? If I have it wrong let me know, always learning. My understanding calling 11 left wing is as correct as calling 11 blind wing.

I guess my statement that Koroibete, Digbe style was on Quade's hip. And that isn't right. What he's doing is tracking Kerevi, through traffic, taking the offload if it's on, and being loose forward like, first defending ruckman, if the ball isn't available. It's been awesome. Tough call on...

Not really - but there is with the way we have been playing. So either some plays change, or Kellaway steps up.

It's the way we've been using Koroibete. He is on the blind side wing. So the ball passes out on the other side of the field (mostly). He does that Digbe style thing coming in looking for work in traffic and trying to get off the hip of Quade. Or White. But that's in traffic and you need to be...

That's the way I read it. More faith in Kellaway running that extreme distance hard work and giving Petaia a shot in the back three. Got to put my best wishes out there to Kellaway on the blind. It's a big ask.

Particular congrats to Holmes and McMahon. Like Quade, blasting from the past. Service beyond the bounds of duty, guys. I like Gordon getting another window. Kellaway to 11 is interesting. As good as he has been he is not Koroibete and the nature of the game will surely change. Maybe he can...

The ranking system is the ranking system we've got. It's not that it isn't good, on the whole it stands up to scrutiny. The issue we have is how being segregated from NH tests for so long. The number of test we have against the ABs is a real negative to the ranking, given our comparative...

Maybe they were guys outside of the game day who thought to take a break from the bubble? If so nil Impact on the game. Bad optics all the same.

This is the sort of shite we all roll our eyes with recalcitrant mungo players. Wallabies v Argentina A seems to be the only other solution. Or cancellation/forfeit. Really can't see the authorities going "yeah, just cross over and all the best for the game".

Wow. How to test a govt already under pressure for favouring sportsmen. This may not end well.
