Concerns for me:

Paisami is a penalty magnet these days and always goes looking for the big hit rather than the completed tackle. LSL off the bench late could be a source of penalties as well.

Hopefully both of them are given fairly strict instructions and precise roles to perform.

LSL has his shot. Hopefully he's matured enough to temper his enthusiasm a little.

Hopefully we're up by 50 at that point :grimacing_face:

I like his enthusiasm. It's the way he expresses it that needs a bit of polish.

Weird to see Daugunu only has 12 tests.

Hope Lynagh doesn’t become the Aussie Blackadder when it comes to fitness and injury

Ikitau has been playing very well. He got the Wallabies out of danger a couple of times last weekend and then was instrumental in creating go forward.

@NTA Gone are the days when Randwick had a few in GnG.

Will be interesting to see how the turf holds up considering this is the last sporting game at the sfs for a few months whilst they rip up the turf to try and fix the drainage problem.

Meanwhile Sydney had the wettest September day in 150 years on Wednesday

First glance was surprised to see Edmed over JOC for the start.

I hope Edmed can ramp it up from what I saw in Super. But with Lynagh's wobbles (+ injury) and JOC heading overseas, this is probably a decent game to throw him in the deep end.

Team: 15-Juan Cruz Mallia, 14-Rodrigo Isgro, 13-Lucio Cinti, 12-Santiago Chocobares, 11-Mateo Carreras, 10-Santiago Carreras, 9-Gonzalo Garcia, 8-Joaquin Oviedo, 7-Marcos Kremer, 6-Juan Martin Gonzalez, 5-Pedro Rubiolo, 4-Guido Petti, 3-Joel Sclavi, 2-Julian Montoya (captain), 1-Mayco Vivas.

Replacements: 16-Ignacio Ruiz, 17-Boris Wenger, 18-Francisco Coria Marchetti, 19-Franco Molina, 20-Pablo Matera, 21-Agustin Moyano, 22-Justo Piccardo, 23-Ignacio Mendy.

Shame LSL isn't starting - would be a competition between him and Petti for first Yellow Card

Matera to the bench raises the eyebrow.

@NTA pal, Christy Doran, talking up the chances of re-signing Carter Gordon.

Would be great if it had legs...

@JA Let’s see how he goes in his first start.

kicking off soon

Fucking warm over here on the east side of the ground

Enjoy the game NTA, good luck

This looks like a different quality of Argentinian fan than last week....

Toole a tad lucky not to get pinged

Edmed wtf lad

Superb by Montoya, the effort to get to that ball first was brilliant.

Edmed wtf lad

Wouldn't mind seeing the replay, didn't seem like he took that much of a run up?

A lot fewer box kicks than ABs Boks

Ok that 6 looks like he could be troublesome out wide...

Liking the ref so far. Clear, concise, no coaching and decisions spot on.

Chocobares learns a lesson.

Team fails again when trying to bulldoze over close to the ruck

White is a cock, that's Edmed's ball all day every day.

We're doing some dumb shit

So many absolutely idiotic decisions on defence in that last passage. Yet Argie fucked it.

yeah they did but at least they have the balls to run it out of their half, cant remember the last time our back line wasnt trying to catch some bullshit kick

"Harry Wilson is blowing up deluxe", as Wilson looks quizzically at the ref and mildly gestures.

Fun game this.

Fun game this.

absolutely jealous of the mindset of both these teams

Styles make fights and these two match up so well

foot in tou tou touch lol

Nothing in that, not even a penalty. Well done ref.

Does he even hit his head?

That fucking argie wing with the Hollywood on that last kick too. Fuck off.

Great reffing

wow great interpretation, dont see that often
