We also haven't had an update on Jordan. But if he failed his HIA he won't be available for selection in this game.
I don't think he'll be back - but the return to play protocols can be satisfied in a week I thought? I have memories of folk going off for HIA, but then being back the week after.
That said, I'm with @Duluth, think he should take the time out and come back at Super next year

@ACT-Crusader said in Argentina One: Parramatta, 14 November:
Moody, Coles, Laulala, Tuipoluto, Whitelock, Frizell, Cane, Savea, Smith, Mo’unga, Clarke, Goodhue, Lienart-Brown, Ioane, B. Barrett
Smith to play 80 minutes.
Can't argue with that. I am guessing Fozzie still thinks Jordie is his first choice wing but he is due for a rest anyway.
i cant imagine how hard it is being a professional rugby player in nz at the moment, your a wing with AB's aspirations so you ask your coach to keep referring to you as a fullback just so fozzie will notice you

@Machpants definitely at this stadium as its brand new

@Kiwiwomble @Machpants fucking nice arena too - been to a couple of Tahs games there and the views are great as well as the architecture.
EDIT: only thing it probably lacks is closer rail transport - they've got buses running right past. It is only 1.3km from the nearest train tho.

That's a deliberate ploy to keep lazy fat fuckers away so they can fit more seats in

Also true!
The best thing Parramatta could have done was run a ring service light rail up that street to the stadium, then turn down into North Parramatta and back over the river.

I didn’t realise it was that long a walk - didn’t seem that long when I did it but we stopped at some shops and to have a bite to eat along the way.

@DMX is laulala available or is he still in Nz waiting for birth of his child? If in Nz then lomax be starting and bower on the bench as he can play tight or loose head prop
Good question, to be honest had assumed yes but your suggestion makes sense if not.

@Bovidae Yep couple on debut five or six others that had played a handful of games at most and a couple of grizzled veterans that were past it.
Six I think never played for the AB's again after that tour. Lam being the "standout".
Couple of things I remember from that game, Darren Junee who ended up playing league scoring a hatrick for Sydney and Marc Ellis playing centre...
@NTA might be able to confirm but I think Junee came back to play club rugby after his stint with the Roosters.

Earlier game time this weekend.
Kick off at 5pm Sydney time/7pm NZ time.
That's another thing i like about it - no late night for this old bloke 😉
But that's just after 3am in Buenos Aires...
-
@KiwiMurph nice, might turn the tv around and watch whilst sitting in the sun!

I believe you're right. A few have done that for a bit of a trot with mates or an old club.
Note for those referencing "Western Sydney" - Bankwest Stadium in North Parramatta is only 7km west of ANZ as the crow flies.
ANZ is 15km west of the CBD. To the Rugby People in Sydney, both stadiums are "West". As fuck.
