Pumas vs Wallabies, 25th July 2015, Mendoza

[No4918]

So playing 2 10's isn't working. How about Kerevi? People being moved on defence all over the place anyway with To'omua out so it can't be much worse and we might get some go forward.

I defended Skeltons scrummaging last week, but his body height in scrums is pretty bad, he isn't offering the front row full support.

What happened to To'omua? Killing us out there having Cooper running sideways away from our forwards every time it looks like someone might tackle him

Here's a dumb question- are the Aussie commentary team in Mendoza?

Cooper is very much not a 12. I don't think he's taken the correct option once.
At least we can see how valuable To'omua is.

We're playing OK, big improvement from our forward ball-runners.

Love how some people expect us to be winning by 30, or this to be a great festival of rugby. Our games against the Argies are always like this, and the one time we DID win by 50 everyone basically wrote it off as 'they can't tackle'.

Yeah massively... He's been awful. Needs to learn to just take the ball into contact some times. It's like he's afraid of the collisions.

Here's 3 points for the good guys.

Foley delivers from 15 metres out in front, with a bit of a mongrel looking kick but the flags were raised.

AUS 11 ARG 6 after 42 minutes.

Wow I think that should have been more than a penalty. Fairly brazen hands in the ruck stopping a probable try after getting pinged for that a few times last half. I think he's lucky not to be getting a 10 minute breather

Do you just look away from the screen when Foley runs sideways?

 

[the sabanator]

These ruck infringements are getting ridiculous! Peyper has to start looking to his pocket sometime soon

 

[Strewthcobber]

When was the last time QC (Quade Cooper) played at 12?

 

[flat_eric]

I've seen enough of Quade to know he's not the answer. Hope To'omua gets well soon.

 

[Upthenuts]

time for bob dyers dream kuridani to 12 acc 13 cooper to wing

 

[the sabanator]

Ahhhh Quade get that ball up. Need to start putting some of this into points

 

[Major Spliff Biggins]

Australia look good when running straight. Plenty of yards to be made up the middle.

 

[Blake]

If you got points for having cool names, the Argies would win heaps more games

 

[the sabanator]

This is exactly why Pocock has to start. Preferably with Hooper

 

[Bullrush]

Scrums are a massive concern for Australia. Pocock being his usual BEAST self...
