    Back off choice, you have to admire Rex for his continued commitment to the Cheika I'd going to fix aussie rugby line despite mountains of evidence disproving his theory.

    This is old news. The boys across the Dutch were onto it on to it last Tuesday.

    Kiwi-born Leroy Houston looks set to make Wallabies test debut against Argentina- stuff.co.nz
    Not much gets past our buddies over there when it comes to Kiwis in the Aus teams.

    It's just the PI players that seem to cause irregular bouts of amnesia.

    Wallabies win 33-21. A niggly scrappy game with a cameo by a referee i assume was brought in from another sport. Some bizarre decisions and passages of play thanks to inconsistent refereeing. Wallabies discipline in the first half was poor with two yellows for high tackles. Scrums were a mess with 3 completed from more than 15 attempts. Lineout was dependable setting off some good attack. Wallabies were more polished in attack than Argentina with the intent to offload evident and the decision when to offload a lot smarter. DHP and Kerevi were our best backs with Kerevi gettin a double. Coleman and Hooper were the best forwards with Coleman getting a try.

    Israel Folau looks like he would benefit from some time off. I still have concerns around the ability to make multiple efforts at a high level from some of our forwards. Its usually a one and done scenario with guys slow off the ground after tackles and rucks. Not often enough do our guys put in 2 or more high level repeat efforts without the next few moments being a walk or hands on heads situation. This is really evident when compared directly to the All Blacks forwards who relish and pride themselves on making these high level repeat efforts.

    Dean "powderpuff" Mumm with an intercept try in the 77th minute. Should see him automatically selected for the next 30 test for the wallabies.

    That lack of pressure from the inside allows the offload game to make big meters thru the middle. The difference is that NZ make way less errors in executing it.

    A win for the wallabies but not a win for Australian rugby! Just poor rugby! Poor dissaplin again!
    Thought the ref and TMO had shockers but wouldn't have changed the outcome much.

    Ratings from one of the South African websites

    14 Dane Haylett-Petty:
    Caused Argentina all sorts of problems from the restart as he chased well and managed to win the ball in the air on many occasions. Haylett-Petty showed a good work rate and got himself heavily involved in the game.
    8/10

    5 Adam Coleman:
    Showed fantastic pace and athleticism as he crashed over for the first try of the game. Secured first phase possession for Australia at the line-outs and made an impact with some big hits on defence.
    7/10

    Exactly, i think the words i was looking for are urgency and desperation. Some of our forwards just lumber around getting into position so slowly after a one out effort. We were lucky the Argies knocked on so many offloads and didn't threaten the inside defenders as much as they should of. There were some big holes left in these inside channels, one or two passes back towards the rucks.

    World Rugby again selling out by refusing to insist SANZAAR site the world's biggest bell end Nick Phibbs for his blatant assualt on a member of the Argentinian support staff. Instead he will just be the proud recipient of a warning...

    In this situation there is an argument for what happens in the heat of the moment, however there is also minimum acceptable standards that should be firmly in the "never do" camp and that is one of them. Irrespective of the physio also being completely in the wrong for handling the ball.

    Dane makes Rugby365.com team of the championship:

    11 - Dane Haylett-Petty (Australia):
    One of the Wallabies who was consistently good in a season of stark contrasts.
    Bubbling under: Julian Savea (New Zealand)

    http://rugby365.com/opinion/second-p...one-horse-race

    And an honourable mention in the Foxsports.com.au team:

    Dane Haylett Petty (Australia)

    Despite playing out of position on the wing, Dane Haylett-Petty got better with every Test under his belt and finished as one of the Wallabies’ best throughout the six-match competition.

    The Western Force fullback made the most offloads (seven) equal most tackle busts (16) second most run metres (380) by a winger in the tournament to go along with four linebreaks and his second career try.

    Probably explains why Folau has had his sookface on (viewing the after game pics). Obviously not happy at losing the limelight with his poor stats in the past few games. Dane's got his usual position & he's not happy Jan!
