    Wallabies vs Los Pumas Perth

    Do we have a chance against the Argentinians

    I will not bet any money on the Wallabies at this stage but I sure as hell hope the Pumas run out of puff in the second halve

    Our Albany Junior Rugby Club got the "Guard of Honour" gig for this match.
    So some very excited people heading up to the big smoke. Give them a wave if you see them.

    I think we have a shot against the Argies, because it's at home and won't be supported by the Kiwi population of Perth (who only seem to shift their collective arse to come and see an Australian team getting beat)

    I think the litmus test (with both SA and Argentina) will be when we travel.

    Robertson chance for Wallabies debut

    By Justin Chadwick
    September 15, 2016, 12:07 pm



    Wallabies veteran Drew Mitchell and lock Kane Douglas have been dropped for Saturday night's Rugby Championship clash with Argentina in Perth, while prop Tom Robertson is a chance to make his international debut from the bench.

    Douglas has been replaced in the starting side by Rob Simmons, who will partner Adam Coleman in the sixth different lock combination used by Michael Cheika in 2016.

    Mitchell returned from injury off the bench in last week's win over South Africa, but he has been replaced in the squad by Henry Speight.

    Mitchell is still building up his match fitness, and he's expected to be in line for a starting berth for upcoming matches away to South Africa and Argentina.

    Speight hasn't featured in the Test arena since facing Uruguay at last year's World Cup.

    The uncapped Robertson will start on the bench in place of injured prop Allan Alaalatoa.

    Back-rower Lopeti Timani has also been named on the extended bench, but he'll have to survive the final cut if he is to have a chance of making his debut.

    Argentina made four changes to the side that lost 57-22 to the All Blacks last week.

    Brumbies scrumhalf Tomas Cubelli earns his first start since last year's World Cup, while Juan Manuel Leguizamon returns at blindside flanker after recovering from a leg injury.

    Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias replaces injured centre Juan Martin Hernandez, while Javier Ortega Desio moves to lock to fill the void left by the injured Guido Petti.

    Wallabies: Israel Folau, Dane Haylett-Petty, Samu Kerevi, Bernard Foley, Reece Hodge, Quade Cooper, Will Genia, David Pocock, Michael Hooper, Dean Mumm, Adam Coleman, Rob Simmons, Sekope Kepu, Stephen Moore, Scott Sio. Res: Tatafu Polota-Nau, James Slipper, Tom Robertson, Rory Arnold, Lopeti Timani, Sean McMahon, Nick Phipps, Tevita Kuridrani, Henry Speight (one to be omitted)

    Argentina: Joaquin Tuculet, Santiago Cordero, Matias Moroni, Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias, Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino, Nicolas Sanchez, Tomas Cubelli, Facundo Isa, Juan Manuel Leguizamon, Pablo Matera, Matias Alemanno, Javier Ortega Desio, Ramiro Herrera, Agustin Creevy, Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro. Res: Julian Montoya, Lucas Noguera, Enrique Pieretto, Marcos Kremer, Leonardo Senatore, Martin Landajo, Gabriel Ascarate, Matias Orlando

    Bit of a regression picking that plodder Simmons. He has nowhere near the impact around the rucks and tackles as Douglas.

    Great to see Adam and Dane starting to hold on to their starting spots

    Cannot wait to see both step out at NIB for the Wallabies

    Lets get extra loud when they run onto the pitch

    Looks like Chieks believes it's more important to stick with a side than to try to improve it ... then drops Douglas & leaves Mumm at 6. By bringing Simmons back in, he really is paranoid about the line out ... the school boy moves in the Boks' game that meant Moore only had to throw 5.5m in a downward direction demonstrates where the fundamental issue lies ...

    Just had a sneak peek at Pumas training at Tomplins Park. Look for lots of line out ball going to the back pod.

    Bummer Luke got left out again, but at least he's in the NRC. Ruru not been included in the team, pity also. And what the hell had Mumm got on Cheika, never seen such a non-event manage to squeeze into the team every week! Nearly as bad as Skelton!
