Wonderful call from Walsh in the Pumas/Cocks game held up. Confident. Didn't need the TMO, didn't waste anyone's time.

13-18 win to the argies, 2 pens and 4 drop goals to a converted try and 2 pens.

Wasn't sure of where to put this, but a wonderful, insightful interview with Mils Muliaina.

Talks about the difference in training work SH vs NH, back support play and how the ABs a number of years ago went lean and mean with much more skills work whilst the NH teams are still lifting big, creating monsters, well worth a listen.
