Rugby Championship 2025: Wallabies v Argentina

[TSR]

Just a comment too on Wilson’s decisions to keep pushing for a try instead of kickable penalties in the first half - whilst I personally have generally been more of a ‘take the points’ fan, it should be noted that that period helped contribute to the later yellow card which in turn put a lot of pressure on the Argies to be squeaky clean at the end.

It’s still a roll of the dice and I understand he would’ve copped heaps for it if we’d lost by 3, but I guess there are lots of ways to build pressure in the modern test game.

I see more than that, but yeah, a ruck turnover is often called as a penalty conceded (ie penalised for holding on) not credited to the player who was over the ball

Wait......what...... Lynagh was equal second best on the field at something???

Question for the crowd - anyone else think Ikitau is quickly becoming a better 12 then he was a 13.

And to be really clear - that isn’t a knock on him at 13. He just seems to get so much more involved at 12.

The more he has the opportunity to have the ball in hand, the better for the wallabies

Pretty damn good scrumhalf too.

He's seems to be doing too much forward stuff? The pick and drives not sure about. There's one less back if they want to spin it wide to the wings.

He is very good in traffic and can often slip a tackle or two and get the ball away.
