I swear every season there's a new argentinian back rower that tears the house down. Its oviedos turn this year

[Samizouza]

Argie boys definitely stood out and deserved their TOTW place.

[thottobot]

Think Ox should be nominated for player of the year, one of the most dominant players in his position

[Hiltok]

Just a reminder about the first scrum penalty where Argentina didn't stay square in the first scrum. That technical infringement should have been overturned because of the dangerous play of Nche lifting Sclavi in that scrum. It was clear and obvious and was a bad miss by the officiating team. [I thought they otherwise did a pretty good job.]
.
Law 19 (Scrum) ... 37. Dangerous play in a scrum includes:
a. A front-row charging against the opposition.
b. Pulling an opponent.
c. Intentionally lifting an opponent off their feet or forcing them upwards out of the scrum.
d. Intentionally collapsing a scrum.
e. Intentionally falling or kneeling.
Sanction: Penalty.

I like how you glued the pumas jersey on to you this RCH

[Hiltok]

Another worth a mention as a good short shift from off the bench was Salakai-Loto. He made a noticeable difference in the middle of the park for Australia. (He and Paenga-Amosa managed to add enough starch to the scrum that it didn't get completely folded when Slipper and Alaalatoa came on. That was a big plus compared to where the WB scrum has been at the back end lately.)

[TheMachoMan]

Personally I thought Sevu Reece was awful since back in the starting line-up

[btcdunks]

Lucio Cinti is 1.90 meters and 94kg. That’s pretty big in my book for a center😅

[Mako-V]

Some great passes from Lomax very impressive 👏 👌

[evaavfc]

The Pumas' defeat of the ABs and thrashing of the Wallabies was no fluke. They've beaten everyone.
Sititi should be @8 and Ardie @7. When is Shannon Frizzel back? When is Richie Mounga back?

[chadmaree]

You should include a wooden spoon player each week.

[NicolasFernandez-tcxp]

I disagree with the FB pick tho. Mallia had a massive shift, specially in the strategic game. In fact I think he was the best player of the round.

[gjreedy]

Great team of the week. Argentina’s 10 is fire. Maybe get a different goal kicker? I’ve never understood the obsession with 10 doing it? If 15 is better let em kick the goals.

[jules]

Definitely agree with McRight. As much as I love Carlo he definitely made a difference this week!

[marceloespejo]

Surprising you didn't mention Mallia. He had a great match

[relpmat]

Cinti is like 1.90m tall. He is pretty big.

[mfp]

If anyone wants to watch a cracking game, watch Currie Cup Final. Incredible.

[sebastianpalacio]

Most of the weeks I agree with you. This time you picked too many ABs. Díd all those FWs score 67 points? You have to take who they play against into consideracion. You should divide ABs tackles and meter by 2 if you are comparinng the aussies with the Boks big 8. You didn't take into consideration the challenge the Pumas 8s had against the Boks.

[gailkelly]

Also include bench impact players in your team of the week- one back, one fwd- who had the most impact on a game.

[ricardojuricic]
