When I got on there was a link for it but nothing played when I clicked on it. I saw elsewhere that you could download the Argentina Rugby app so I did that but it crashed my iPad twice so I deleted it. I then saw the first try by Len Ikatau on Twitter but the most noticeable thing was that Australia was wearing grey and Argentina were in hi vis pink.

I finally got it to work through the Xplorer app on the phone. Surprisingly good stream considering how difficult it was to get.

How's an 'A' backrow of 6. Swinton 7. Wright 8. Naisarani just quietly.

Is Swinton the 'Harder' tall man we eventually need at 6 if he sorts out whateva he needs to sort out.

Swinton was good but lost the ball a couple of times and was quick to get involved in the scuffles. Hosea was pretty strong in the set piece and trucking up the ball with a couple of offloads. How is his fitness? He looked to fall behind once or twice.
Maddocks looks the goods out wide as a second playmaker. Wright was very strong all around. Harrison was hot and cold.
The young centre pairing was big and solid defensively but maybe were a bit light on creativity?
The future is bright

Naisarani very busy today and continues to make ground in possession of the ball.

Nope. Tried hard today but didn't leave any impressions on any of the Argie players.

Agree on Maddocks, the ball to Wright who then beat 2 to setup the Ikatau try was a peach, there were a few others too. He definitely adds some creativity at the back. He and Wright put in a couple of nice kicks from the back also. Thought both Wright's were strong actually. Moeroa impressed me in midfield both defensively and getting over the ad line, cant believe Penney barely played him. Hosea was strong. The starting forwards were all very good at the set piece, we fell away considerably once the substitutions were made.

Hosea and Neville were an effective locking duo. Should both be near Wallaby selection. Hosea definitely best of the forwards imo. High workload and has the ability to break a line and offload. Quite impressive.
100% agree. These two were very impressive and given the quality work of LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) and Philip, with Blyth and Swain in the bleachers, recalling Arnold, Skelton, Rodda et al for the Tri Nations should not be done unless there is a couple of injuries.

No way they are bothering now, surely.

Hosea manages to get his body height right down when he runs into contact and often bumps off the first defender. Very impressive skill for someone so tall.

No one's coming given they're not here already. Would need to do 2 weeks in quarantine. They would've only been required vs NZ too.

Blyth and Hosea are waiting in the wings. I’m not sure that I agree with Higgers re Neville. Rennie obviously wanted to take a look at him. He will do his job without setting the world on fire. Both Philip and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) have been very good and will only get better.
It would be nice if Arnold could be persuaded to return full time.

He would be great cover for To’omua especially with the JOC (James O'Connor) combination. With both JOC (James O'Connor) and To'omua out I think this is the right selection. Not the same as saying I am confident in it though.
