The Pumas have announced two 24 man squads – one for the June Internationals and one for the Rugby Championship. They are completely different squads – not one player the same!

Therefore a second choice Argentina 22 completely dismantled a first choice Italian 22. This shows that they have the depth of players to grow competitive Super 15 sides and also an international squad that, whilst it might struggle in this Rugby Championship, will grow into a force that will challenge for future World Cups……

England in particular has a significantly larger player population, fan base and domestic tournament than anywhere else, doesn’t it? Demand more from them, or you’ll never get it.

We Australians are very relieved with that win over Wales. We were unprepared against Scotland and were a point away from Wales at 60mins. It could have gone either way, but the Wallabies rallied and rallied well. The hatchets would have been out for Dingo Deans otherwise.

Also, I’m encouraged that South Africa have learnt nothing from their defeat in the RWC. They’ll need more than physicality in the tri-nations.

Right, I’m a borderline ‘troll’ here. Back to work.

The context of Genia’s performance, i.e. 4 days after being close to hypothermia, makes him my hero of the weekend.
