Just finished watching the highlights for the third time (was unable to watch the game live). After quade 's yellow card tackle did anyone else see the upper cut/right hook from the argie forward to hooper's stomach in the following ruck? Surely just as much a yellow card as quade dropping the...

Any idea who the ref will be for this one? Know it seems silly but how the breakdown will be reff'd seems a factor in this back row decision. Feel like going back to Fardy, Pocock and Hooper again with Fardy to help with increased physicality from Argentina, and potentially negate some rolling...

Good win for the green and gold. Think just the mental hurdle of being without a win for the whole year is a good one to get over. Regarding the quality of the game thought our skills were far better than the last two matches, however could just be that there wasn't the same speed in defence...

As Steve Hansen said, the European Rugby leagues are becoming similar to Soccer/Football leagues in Europe. Strong leagues definitely don't mean you have strong nations (e.g. England in Football), however the problem is the effect it will have on the domestic leagues in Southern Hemisphere. It...

Agree, the situation with the Euro based players will be interesting. The England Tour and RC are when they are in the off-season/pre-season so they would be lacking match fitness but perhaps Cheika has a plan to deal with that. Perhaps offering them the chance to prove their fitness at training...

Yep apologies for the miss-spelling, Monday mornings are prime time for a little bit of dyslexia. Not sure I like this 4 year cycle thing, think we should aim for selecting the best 15 blokes we have at that moment and not select guys we want to come good in four years. I believe this is what...

Yep it will be interesting to see how Japan affects Foley and Falou, my understanding is that they won't join the Spring Tour next year? I think the following starting 15 against England next year would be good, assuming AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Gits, Mitchell hang up the boots. 1. Sio 2. Moore 3. Kepu 4. Simmons...

I'm more relaxed about this match than the last 4. We have beat expectations and we are playing a team superior to us so the pressure is off. Its an environment the Wobblies thrive in, being $4.00 underdogs. Here's to hoping that NZ play just as well as they did in 2011 final!

Agree here but think to help defence wouldn't mind Mitchell starting 15 and Horne coming back to the wing (if fit) to sure up defence, then bring Kurtley off the bench. But hopefully Falou continues to improve and he gets back some of that magic. Any word on Gits? Assume he was injured if...

NH commentators claiming forward pass, probably tend to agree.

Great half of rugby, thought Australia maybe should be a few more points ahead but can't complain. Pocock and falou looking good also. Think Argentina may slow towards end of game, used 2 subs already.

Agreed we shouldn't forget our several brain fades last week and more importantly the scrum penalties we conceded which makes me worried the most, conceding 9 points from scrums will kill us. However as much as our mistakes made Scotland looked good, so did Ireland's slow start make Argentina...

They have the day off today so unfortunately you'll have another day of suspense. The reports said that Pocock was running with no pain on Sunday so unless its deteriorated during the week I'm hoping they are just wrapping him in cotton wool ahead of Sunday.

Heard on the rumour mill that a young back rower from Randwick has joined training and looks likely to start.......

Having big centres trying to bash through guys like Sanchez is a tempting prospect, however I haven't watched enough of the Argies to see how the backs defend. Plus a bit scared to lose our best in play kicker in Gits, his left boot has been quality this tournament. My concern is how do we fit...

I'm not so worried about Slipper but Smith, lack of game time and stepping into to a RWC semi towards the end against a fairly decent pack. What is Argentina's depth like in the tight 5? Have only watched the highlights of the Ire/Arg game but it looked like the scoreline made the game look...
