Suggesting Bell is up there with the best LHP in th world and then suggesting Robertson as cover proves you don't know a lot about front row play. Bell is good but not as good as you suggest and Robertson is not a LHP, he will get destroyed at International level.

What did Joe say to the boys in the sheds at oranges? Boys you are playing well, keep up the momentum. Did our coaches make adjustments besides replace our starters based upon what the Argies were doing? I don't see much in the way of strategic thinking, except play short and hit the ball up 60...

Mate the fat lady lost her voice after the second game v Wales. Instead of resting him, dropping him, giving his injuries time to heal, the HIA knock, crank on his neck and I think knee injury. I believe the test match stat meant more to Aussie rugby than winning the game with our best 23.

Our starting front row helped us to get front foot ball, Bell and Tupou 100% delivered. Donaldson is our 10. Bench forwards were pathetic. Argies adjusted after reading that our defense puts on zero fucken pressure. Went wide, off loaded and just sped the bloody game up.

I am expecting our bench front row to score 8's on the next Roar player ratings. Let's just blow smoke up their asses. That's right we are rebuilding. How the fuck did we lose by 40 against the Argies after beating them by a point the week before??????

Oh just faaark off ready.When did the Argies start playing cricket?

Argies 53 v No Nuts 27.

Yes we suck, same ol same ol. The euphoria from last week is gone I thought I wouldn't post and just watch the game but faaarrrk our forwards piss me off.

Looks like we are back to business as usual. Slipper is old and broken, you have now got the stat get a workhorse front rower back into the team. Hodgman is a better prop, Slipper is no longer international class. We are getting dominated.

Finally watched the game, Tupou and Bell were excellent. Backs were flat footed, Wilson is not a good strategic captain some of his options were forehead slapping. Lolesio is not a Test level 10. Happy with the W. I didn't think the Argies really offered anything.

We always need to be focussed on winning, we always had a winning culture. Yes focus on the RWC but we need to win every game and stop making excuses like a lot are for our loses on this forum.

Agreed that we would be lucky to to get a win, totally disagree with your assessment that we put up a solid fight against South Africa. We lost by 26 and 18 points hardly a good example of a solid fight, more like we got KO in the first round.

Tupou is a THP, Bell is LHP. Start Tupou with Bell. As for Noah at 10 prefer to give Donaldson anothrr shot.

For those that can't read, Schmidt said he will select on form. You're a staff member use Google.

And he shouldn't have been selected over Zane is my point.

Robertson has no form in 2024 and Schmidt stipulated his selection criteria.

Bell in the tight yes, Tupou is terrible in the tight, fantastic at scrum time and with ball in hand.

He is an average prop who has played zero Super Rugby minutes this year. Selecting him ahead of Zane is not selecting on form.

I don't. If Robertson had played more than one game of club and touch on Sunday's with the family I wouldn't be so hard on the guy. Zane has been solid and should not have been dropped, he clearly rhe biggest loser. Schmidt lacks credibility after this call.

If you think club is sufficient prep then that is plain stupid. Stepping up to International Rugby from playing club with no Super Rugby this year is just ridiculous. Hope that explains things.
