« Ils font une grande saison et je pense qu’ils sont déçus du résultat en Irlande. Cette équipe n’a pas peur, elle est constituée de grands joueurs qui voyagent bien. »

Galthié, qui prône tant l’adaptation et l’émulation, ne peut qu’apprécier la constante adaptation dont fait preuve l’Argentine. « Ils s’adaptent, ils s’adaptent en permanence à l’écosystème du rugby mondial. Ils ont beaucoup de joueurs en France, en Italie. »

Non contente d’exporter des joueurs dans les plus grands championnats du monde de rugby à XV, l’Argentine tire également fierté dans ses performances à 7. « Leur équipe à 7 fait partie des meilleures au monde », souligne Galthié. « Elle a fait deux saisons incroyables. C’est un rugby qui est très intelligent. »

Les Argentins ont réussi à tirer et apprendre de l’expérience acquise dans les grandes compétitions. « Au contact des meilleures nations du monde, via le Rugby Championship et les championnats, cette équipe est devenue l’une des meilleures du monde. »

'The Wallabies only have themselves to blame': How the Lions sunk Australia in Melbourne

I get where you are coming from,Om. And there was a case when that French under strength team came out to Australia. Cameron Woki picked at the base of a ruck and jumped/dived over. That would clearly now be penalised.


But the Sheehan try is different to my eye. It starts from a tap penalty, he drives forward, the two WB defenders go low for a tackle in the assumption Sheehan will go to ground. He does not, but seeing the hole now left dives through it. In this case surely there is zero danger there.


Both WB heads are well clear below. There would have been far more danger had Sheehan also dropped low, as he had done on one, or was it two occasions in the game.


I just can’t see his movement as a jump. There is virtually no vertical element, it is say only 5% upwards. Surely at 95% horizontal, that won’t be penalised, not even seriously looked at ?


“It is different to the sideline touchdown on the wing”. You are the only person in hundreds of posts I have read who brings that up. I have been thinking of that as well, but not commented till now prompted by you. And you are correct, it is in most cases very different, being a side on tackle, not head on. But still, it is often more a jump than a dive. I would not advocate for penalising…..some wonderful tries scored that way, and the danger element is generally not excessive, at least not for head injuries.

'The Wallabies only have themselves to blame': How the Lions sunk Australia in Melbourne

I agree, the comparison to Rassie in 2021 is unfair. Schmidt despite being highly emotional was scrupulous in not making it a personal grudge match, and in the circumstances I think he behaved in a decent way. What Rassie did was unhinged and extreme. Why fudge the two together? It’s much more common for coaches to do what Joe did, and it was unusual for him, he resisted efforts of journo’s to get him talking about the cards that weren’t in Test 1. He’s taken exception in this instance, if he was doing it all the time I’d dismiss it, but he’s got some cred so I take it a little more seriously when he speaks up.


Otherwise Mr Bishop/ Nick you have yet again proven your acumen as a selector and tactician this series, making calls before not after the event, like any good analyst would. Schmidt was cruelled by injuries this series, more than was apparent initially. In both games injuries to Bobby V and Skelton’s fitness hampered the WBs, and Gleeson in Test 1, and Noah before, and JAS leading in. Picking TT would have been a huge risk after SR form, but yes, seems like it would have been worth taking in hindsight and many were suggesting before. We just don’t have the depth for that not to make a big impact. But Joe seems to have put his chips on Williams as long termer and is investing in him, like he did players in Ireland, when Williams is yet to deliver in this series (although the lineout has been solid when he’s on). Perhaps his time will come. JAS defence is perhaps the biggest issue as Nick you’ve pointed out now on multiple occasions. I just get flummoxed myself thinking about it, as any solution creates another problem, perhaps he just needs time and it just had to be this way….At the very least we need an A/B test and see what the experiment uncovers.


As an Australian I stick to the paradoxical blend of unrealistic optimism and fatalism in reflecting on these decisions that has at once been the blessing and cruse of our culture historically.
