I agree with most of that except that I’m still not sold on Banks. Yes, last game was his best in gold but the whole team lifted and he was still only middle of the pack with regards to overall performance. By and large he’s pretty meh at this level. If there’s one player who deserves to stay...

Why? It’s a relevant point of discussion. Ledesma clearly likes working with him and no one is taking anything away from the players, it’s in no way disrespectful to attribute some of the credit to the coaching setup. There was a stark difference between the Argentina that played yesterday...

Just for a bit of fun I ran the rankings as though all of the Saffers cancelled games were treated as forfeits:

UAR invited Cheika into the setup at Ledesma’s recommendation, you don’t suppose there was a reason for that? No one is saying it was all Cheika but he surely played a big role. Read Froggy’s post above, it’s pretty spot on. In Cheika’s first year with the Wallabies he beat the ABs at his...

Ledesma and Cheika?

I’m trying to work out how Cheika getting a very similar performance out of two separate teams had nothing to do with him. I actually think it had a lot to do with him. Changeing it up is his specialty, and that’s what the Argies needed.

There is some new dude putting the boot in this weekend in the Australian - Julien Linden. Obviously a league journalist. Wayne Smith openly says he won’t participate in the shit kicking. Despite Slim’s opinion of him he genuinely seems to be an honest journalist, like all of them his...

After that they’re 3rd. The kickback for us now is that Argentina are now 8th, and a win over them would have previously done nothing, if we are to win we will probably jump up to 5th

Maybe they’ll put a clown face on him too.

Also, history says in an effort like that they’ve used up a fair bit of gas. Definitely will be naming our strongest possible side though.

And every kiwi on the planet I think

How are the Saffas going with their ‘vindicated’ decision not to front up. Lol.

Argies. Are. Home. !!!!

Every nation should just book in the ABs for their first match of the season and hire Cheika as a consultant

Me either. Wow, get the score!

It’s all pretty bloody exciting I have to say. Well done RA.

Notwithstanding the lopsided results, it makes sense to test this format for next season and then tinker with it.

Unlike the SBW precedent, this suspension seems to come with a February 6 timestamp.

I was going to say exactly the same thing!

Bit hard to leave blokes out this week: 3. Hodge 2. Hooper 1. Koroibete HMs to the debutantes, T Wright, Bell and Swinton, the latter was on track for 3.
