[QUOTE="tompaton7, post: 762508, member: 64388"] I can't call this game. Argentina to me have no weaknesses at all. Their defense is solid, they are strong at the breakdown, even stronger at set piece and their back three is potentially the best in the world (New Zealand's is neck and neck). Australia did seem vulnerable at the breakdown without Pocock there although he is meant to be back. The scrum may also be a worry after Scotland, especially with Sio potentially out. That said, I would not read too much into the Scotland game. They came out a bit flat - possibly complacent and off the boil. Take nothing away from the Scots who were immense but two of their tries were given on the platter and the other wasn't much less soft. The Wallabies have also shown they can scramble defend for their lives and against all odds stay in the game, like they did against Wales. This will be very tight and I just can't call it. Both teams can win the tournament from here but it will take some doing. The result could well be dependent on Pocock's injury, as they are different beast with him in the team. [/QUOTE]
