Good on the Argies for giving it a nudge but fairly average all round I thought. If that was England or the AB's, maybe even France, the Wannabies would have got a thrashing. More handling errors than can be justified and very little ability to finish considering the opportunities that were presented.
On a positive note....did anyone see that S.A. singer during the opening?

Havent it seen yet. But if its as you say then we need some luck with this one. The only thing going for Australia is that we arent favourites which in turn deflects allot of media pressure, or does it?

Ive got FOX SPORTS here in Jamaica so I see the Rugby and saw the Panthers wip the Roosters the other day. A little delayed but hey....its ok

Cool

Note that the first points in the competition were scored by a Queenslander, and also the first try of the competition was scored by another Queenslander......

I reckon the "wannabies" did O.K. although they won't get away with the little mistakes they made last night against the likes of the Kiwis and Poms or even Guinness.

The Pumas are pretty unpredictable. They'll try anything against the big guys 'cause they've got nothing to lose and this makes it hard for any team to control the game. The Aussies up against a more structured oponent will come into there own. I always thought that Eddie Jones has got his timing right for this comp.

Fingers crossed aye.

Now also big wins, as expected, to Ireland, South Africa and France.

I think that Umaga's injury may be a blessing in disguise for the AB's as now they will be able to justify having Carter on the field the whole time and Spencer can consentrate on running instead of learning how to kick. Their No. 1 weakness may go.
