Wallabies v Argentina

Sio earns first start of Test season as Rennie rewards Kiwi-crushing backs
The veteran prop has won the race to replace James Slipper, but Dave Rennie has otherwise stuck solid with the team that beat the All Blacks in Brisbane.
Some of the Aussie side has been revealed. The full side is named later today
Sio starts. No changes to the backline, so Hodge at 10 again
-
Is it crazy for me to suggest the Argies should be favourites for this? Hodge is still a part timer at 10 and the performance from the Argies last week was better than anything Aus have put together thus far.
Aus also clearly still have the propensity to completely shit the bed.
-
True, but let's not forget the history of Argentina in the RC. They get up for their first game against the ABs, then generally play down and get beaten by the Wallabies.
If they can sustain their AB effort in this game they should win but based on previous years that is unlikely to happen.
That said 2020 is a very different year to usual, so your guess is as good as mine.

Unchanged starting XV; a few changes on the bench. Good to see Facundo Isa back.
-
Kremer versus Hanigan at blindside.

We're not exactly immune to niggle, and our history against Scotland and other scrappy nations is that we tend to get pulled into dogfights and do poorly.
Rennie will be happy to play anyone but the fucking ABs tho.
-
@Stargazer They have some absolute weapons on the bench in Isa, Boffelli and Cordero
-
Wallabies after a week off following a good win should be favourites. Add in that i don't yet trust the Argies to put together two good performances in a row.

Or the Wallabies.

Australia should walk in, I wouldn't surprised if the Argies all failed an alcohol test after still dining out on last week

Might be better for us if they failed a Covid test and we didn't play them again.

Yes, I do. @canefan has just mentioned it as well.

Just thought that we might do a South Africa.
You can't lose if you don't play.

Yeah me too. I'm conflicted by whether I want us to win it, first time ever

As a Chiefs fan, you and I know exactly how this works.
Crap performances to point of firing discussions, followed by a short run of good results until the talk dies down.
Rinse, repeat.

Bloody difficult one.
We need some sort of guarantee.
"I'll resign if we lose"
"He'll be fired if we lose"If we win, we just get more of the same.
Not sure that I can cope with that.

we used to come home with a wet sail, once all mathematical chance of finals was gone.

Ugh, that fucken table
-
@NTA lol, that is not official - was a petty attempt by the folks at Rugby Pass to be funny
The tournament has officially been called Tri Nations 2020 and the standings don't include South Africa

Australia to play much smarter than NZ did last weekend.
Comfortable 11-16 winning margin.
-
I'm just fucking looking forward to watching a match that Foster isn't going to fuck up.

They'll have been celebrating for a week.

This gives me hope. Hope that you have to watch a recording of the game and accidentally catch a clip of Foster giving away the result before you get to watch it.

With the rumours of KFC sponsoring the Springbok's in 2021 already I'm not sure Colonel Sanders has any more money to spend on chickens...

Independent actuaries do seem to think that you are crazy - not a lot, just a little.
Australia 1.53. Argentina 2.35 -

Australia 1.53. Argentina 2.35Oh sure they were sooooooo accurate last week!
-
@NTA Ahh, yeah. About as reliable as a US political poll.
I would have you as favourites though. At home, a couple of weeks off, against a team that has been on the piss all week.
-
All available tickets sold.
I am assuming 50% capacity?
-
@KiwiMurph NSW so guessing that's the case.
Stadium capacity is 33k

I think Argentina have blown their load and will get hammered. Hope not. Inviting an Argentinian who has recently moved in down the road to watch this. Good bloke. Does a mean bbq.

Argies and Saffas absolutely shit all over kiwis and aussies in this regard.
As my SA mate says, he cooks a braai, kiwis just burn things outside sometimes.....

@MN5 yeah the amount of meat...
