[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 670751, member: 24910"] If Argentina wins the toss they should chose to kick-off, then deliberately kick it directly into touch on the full. This would give Australia a scrum on halfway, which would allow Argentina to set the tone for the match ;) (of course Australia could choose to take the lineout, which would ruin my devious plan...). A couple of interesting changes for Australia. TPN will add another dynamic ball runner (and tackler) to the pack, though he can be a bit inaccurate at times. I'm slightly surprised they stuck with the same locking combination, but I suppose they don't have any obvious replacements. Good to see McCalman starting at 8. I think he was Australia's best 8 throughout the Super Rugby season, and could stake a more permanent claim for the 8 jersey with a strong display. I assume Tomane is not yet 100% fit meaning Betham gets a shot. He at least adds some genunine pace to the Wallabies outside backs. I'm still not a fan of the 6/2 split on the bench (as it limits Australia's ability to use Beale as an impact player), but obviously the coaches are pretty happy with it.. [/QUOTE]
