11. Agulla v Jane - Even. Both are capable of brillance, both capable of stupidity. Should neutralise each other.
Jane = capable of stupidity. Really?? Can't really think of a lot of games where he's shown that...especially at international level.
Still no word on Richie McCaw. I don't see why they don't just rest him for this game, their backrow will still dominate the breakdowns without him and it reduces the amount of chances Argentina will get to kick for goal from penalties. Surely it's not worth risking him against a very physical Argentine pack when you have to face Australia or South Africa in the next round.

This could all ber mind games.
I suspect NZ are desperatly trying to ditch the favourates tag. No disrespect to the Argies but if McCaw was in any serious doubt, they would be resting him for this game.
