I don't necessarily agree with anything amaboko said, but interesting that you've assumed he/she is an "islander"? Based on what, might I ask?

(p.s. What exactly do you mean by an Islander? It sounds like you think they are from NZ, but typically in NZ an Islander is someone from the Pacific Islands - Fiji, Samoa, Tonga etc)

No MaCaw what a joke. I admire the Argies effort but they will be spanked against the AB's and one of the key reasons will be MaCaw-still the best!

ah planet rugby how can one take you seriously. argentina draw with south africa at home and they get all the spots. arguably the greatest rugby side ever produced smashes the next best team in the world on their way to getting the most prestigious trophy in rugby again and they get a few obvious choices. you need to take a long hard look at yourselves PR.

No Wallabies in the team. Should we be surprised? Sounds like a joke. I'm sure a lot of people will agree that N. Sharpe played heaps better than P. Albecete and the veteran is the next best thing in the Wallabies. .

B.Barnes used to be great once but not anymore. 2 below-par Test matches, he needs to be discarded. It's just unfortunate. B. Barnes had potential but injuries have destroyed him.He will never get to that level again. So much aimless kicking by B. Barnes. He has no confidence to break a line and run or even provide a quality passes. For such an experienced player to continue kicking aimlessly every time he gets the ball is preposterous. If he was in North Korea, he would be whipped in public before sending home. He just doesn¿t have it anymore like his coach R. Deans. Wallabies need to invest in B.Tapuai.

If B.Barnes can¿t play well against All Blacks then he should just take a break and give better players a chance to try and help Wallabies win.

At least in my drunken state, Argentina looks like Australia with my blurry eyes, Both start with A and end with a, unfortunately this week, that's where the compassion ends. Well done Arggies.

I'm not an alcoholic, I only drink when McCaw is offside !!!

Does it really matter who PR choose in their XV of the week, silverware is all that counts.

I say that for this reason:

@amaboko

"...I see only Lobbe to be world class, pretty much like with Parisse for Italy. Italy does have Castro, a far better scrumager than those fatties, the argies have..."

@PAMPA.

That Argentina is better than Italy there's no questions about it, but when you say half of the Italian squad is Argentinian, then you should know that in the last couple of years we had 3/5 non-Italian born players.

Too many Argentines against a poor South African side! Looking at your selection you would think that the Argentines would have a chance of beating New Zealand, and yet when they get beaten badly by the All Blacks and your selections will look foolish.
