Wallabies v Argentina @ CommBank Stadium 7.45pm Sat 15/07

As others have said, forward pack has been great overall. Huge step up on last week and looks very balanced. McReight has been very strong imo

 

[molman]

The problem is not going to be technique, just positioning

Which hopefully the sheds will help with.

Also, I'm happy (begrudgingly so) to persevere with QC (Quade Cooper) (Quade Cooper) at 10 for another week. Either way, I think having Hodge in the 23 offers enough versatility - therefore no need for a specialist 10 in 22. When Kellaway is fit, I'd play him at the back with Wright on the other wing. I'm not sure if Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) (Nawaqanitawase) is what we need at the moment - he's still a little more rocks than diamonds at this point. In a perfect world, I'd have him, and the rest of the non-playing squad, playing in the Aus A game. With a little more foresight, it would have been lovely to have 3 or so Aus A games. It would be great to get all of the rehab squad (Bell et al) to come through those games.

I agree Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) is out of position so many times his defence is just not Wallaby standard
Scrum going really well Kerevi needs to pass a bit more

Look I don’t know a lot about D systems in the backline but wouldn’t it have been more sensible to put Koribete at 13 and then put any of 21-23 on the wing?

McReight has been very strong imo

He is far more impactful than Hooper but still gets blasted at the ruck too easily due to his size. I'd still like to see Gleeson in there when fit.

 

[Stockade1988]

Not a bad crowd here over 24,000

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Yeah I won’t hear anyone say anything about McReights size. Haven’t seen him go backwards at all and his fitness is incredible. Holloway and Skelton get through a mountain of the tough stuff that mean slipper and AAA don’t have to chase back rowers

 

[Ignoto]

Not Carters fault, you run the risk of either centre going down and you're stuffed when you use a 6-2 split.

 

[Dctarget]

Thought Carter was gone with his intercept, that Argie was quick who nabbed him. Who was it?

 

[Dctarget]

Nawaqanitawase having a bit of that Marika “fuck it I’ll run it”

 

[Misunderstood fan]

Carter is getting destroyed in defence.

Lucky it’s not Foley in defence ah. Gordon showing his strength.

 

[HogansHeros]

Rough day for Carter, was keen to see him run around at 10. Guess it is a good chance for him to prove his versatility? Not that he really should need to

 

[Running_rugby_1954]

Positives for the wallabies for the next half, the bench forwards coming on are huge. We will have a massive impact from them in the second half.

Can’t wait to see Bell back on the field.

He doesn't last at rucks. It's that simple.

I love his energy and enthusiasm to be involved. He will get better.

 

[KOB1987]

Couldn’t SBW and Turinui at least wear black sneakers with their suits?

 

[Confucius Say]

I haven’t seen Carter “destroyed”. Saw him make several more tackles than Kerevi, Cooper, White and Wright put together.

C Gordon and Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) are keepers.

If you're looking for hardworkers, they are your men.

I'm liking Nawaqanitawase in attack, I think his defence has improved a lot, I said as much in reply to @Brumby Runner critique, but he has bitten in a little hard once or twice which he'll have to be careful with.

 

[LeCheese]

Hoops confident he’s back next game. I’m less confident
