    Luckily, I don't think Argentina will seek to pressure the breakdown much and we, at least, have some weight in the scrum, along with some tall for the line out.... We're going to need it.

    Back line still has the same issues it has had all year, hopefully the argues decide to defend lazily on the inside, because Dane running a switch off a drifting Quades is likely to be the only play in the book.

    Put hodge into a 1 on 1 and there should be some fireworks though.

    Well done to Dane and Adam, they certainly appear to be starting to cement their spots.

    Great to see Adam holding his place while other locks revolve.

    Cheika is too arrogant to make changes and admit he is wrong. Fardy is so much better than Mumm and everybody sees it. Folau needs to be dropped or moved to another position. At least he has got rid of Douglas as he is overrated but second row seems to be the only position he is willing to shuffle.

    I think the tahs boys play the game cheika wants to play and that's why they are there. It's also why they were at the tahs.

    Unfortunately Cheika's plan of ignoring the breakdown and picking forwards who are "aggressive hard runners" just doesn't cut it in international rugby.

    International rugby requires players that are excellent at the core role of the selected position and also add something special. At the moment, the wallabies are all special and no core.

    This all sauce no steak selection policy bit cheika in the arse at the tahs (once teams identified the weaknesses, and it is now hurting the wallabies.

    totally agree Folau is wasted where he is but would Cheika swap him and DHP just to shut people up he would never drop him

    Presumably either the IRB have ordered them to (which I kind of doubt) or they think they'll get more money playing in the 82,000 seater Twickenham rather than the 25,000 attendance they get at Mendoza. A fair few of the Argentina side have experience playing club rugby in Europe, so they might get a few supporters; but I doubt they'll sell out Twickenham, or have a 'home' crowd.

    Cheika is the messiah. He's working towards a bigger plan. Id like to see some real speed on the wings though...and we have plenty looking for a gallop these days. The futures so bright I gotta wear shades.

    Pull out the "bigger plan" card again, I think your shades are so dark you can't see.
