      Sio earns first start of Test season as Rennie rewards Kiwi-crushing backs

      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.

                  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.

                      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.

                          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.

                                    Just thought that we might do a South Africa.

                                    You can't lose if you don't play.

                                        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.

                                                  The tournament has officially been called Tri Nations 2020 and the standings don't include South Africa

                                                            I'm just fucking looking forward to watching a match that Foster isn't going to fuck up.

                                                            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...
