Los Pumas have injected more experience into their starting XV for their round three Rugby Championship fixture against the Wallabies in Townsville.

ADVERTISEMENT

Santiago Carreras has been named to start at 10, replacing Tomas Albornoz, who has been ruled out of the Australia mini-tour with a hand injury.

Marcos Kremer returns to the starting unit in the No.7 jersey, joining a loose forward trio with Buenos Aires hero Pablo Matera and Juan Martin González.

Argentina also welcome back Joel Sclavi after two showings off the bench against New Zealand.

On the bench, head coach Felipe Contepomi has named two potential Test debutants, prop Boris Wenger and fullback Gerónimo Prisciantelli.

Aside from lock Guido Petti, it is an inexperienced impact unit for the touring side.

I think CVC have a pretty good idea of how to commercialise a sport having owned F1 & La liga (Spanish football).

They also see how NBA & NFL have evolved into entertainment/sporting franchises and that’s influenced their direction.

I think you will see they are thinking wider than just rugby (as CVC do) and that excitement leads to a better product.

It’s also no coincidence that FRA & SA don’t face the same threat from soccer or NRL/ARL which allows rugby a stronger position in those leagues.

Being on a small island doesn’t appear to have damaged Premier League Football.

Look at the slides in my earlier post and you will see they are measuring themselves against wider sports to attract fans (which they are doing).

It’s wider than being about the 4 different leagues.

It may not be as bleak as you think.

Bristol’s owner is worth £4-6Bn. The Club (including football) owes him £250m of paper debt from the former loans to fund everything.

Second-half Bledisloe capitulation lays bare Wallabies’ lack of bench depth

Well Kurtley led from the middle to help the Force outplay the Tahs. He seemed to be doing a lot right…..long pass, short pass, long punts, tackling, all to a very high standard….i’d rather Kurtley than Meredith, Lynagh or Lolesio if you actually want to win the game.

The Gallagher Prem may have become the new Super Rugby - and attack is here to stay

South African derbies are woeful and ugly because the refereeing leaves alot to be desired and it becomes more about muscle, set piece and power and beating the other guy up rather than the use of skill and slick play to beat your opponent. 20 years ago the Stormers and Sharks had a clear identity in how they played differently to the highveld teams. They were always looking to use the ball, build rucks and use their hands to expose space out wide. These days every South African team plays the same way except the Bulls. They are the one team looking to change the Narrative and attack with width and speed. Despite them being positive they built just over 50 rucks at the weekend and the Lions had around the same. How does one explain those numbers. Compare that to Munster vs Ulster where over 180 rucks were built, 360 passes and with each side making around 150 tackles. That game featured 44 set pieces compared to the 49 in the Bulls lions so roughly the same amount of set pieces for almost double the rucks and significantly more passes. How is it that SA derby numbers are so low offering so little to fans?

There will be conference group stage matches home and away, as well as cross conferences matches so it will be like 56 (x2) for each conference and 28 cross conferences matches for a total of 140 matches before the URC quarterfinals and the conference semifinals.

This would be more matches for broadcasters so no-one will object. Under the current agreement Martin Anyani has said that about 50% of the URC revenue comes from SA but this is pooled and split for everyone, and I believe that Canal+ (Supersport) will pay even more for SA matches.

The Gallagher Prem may have become the new Super Rugby - and attack is here to stay

Some of the scores have been outrageous with the Northampton Bath game an example. Most of the defending was atrocious from both sides. Northampton are a very slick side and their handling and skills at the line are highly impressive but watching Mitchell or Sleightholm bursting through tackles like they did at the weekend and watching the ease with which Baths defence surrendered was quite Jarring and its an example of whats happening across alot of games in the Prem. In Super Rugby of old many of the same criticisms applied but with one exception. Super Rugby fed the 3 best nations in the world at its peak. Where are England at the moment in the pecking order? The Prems quality is a direct reflection of the National teams woes. England are struggling defensively and caught between a conservative game plan favoured by their coach and the all out attack approach of the Prem. In the past 6 years the Prem has had just one runner up in the Champs cup. France are now dominating with Leinster always the bridesmaids. This has coincided with the Prem becoming the fastest and highest scoring league around. So the entertainment is there but Im not convinced about the quality. Even so you have every right to be happy with the league. It used to be dour but now every match offers excitement and entertainment even if its more WWE than MMA

Has no one correlated this glut of tries in the Prem with the extraordinarily hot summer that we’ve just experienced and the fact that the majority of the pitches are still very hard which will lend itself to running rugby? Let’s see where the Prem is at come the wet and cold winter months (if they come!) and the pitches are a little slower.

I don't disagree, but that isn't the whole picture.

I am generalizing here, but South African and French teams emphasize set piece, and they are able to sell their product and enjoy healthy financial positions.

Joseph plays well only when he wants to. If he's not in the mood he doesn't care. He's better off on the bench. Personally, I'd rather have Lomax than Joseph. Jorgo can't defend h'e’s hopeless. He certainly has talent carrying the ball.

Why would the English Prem want to add South African teams to an English league? If they add the Welsh sides they get a UK based premier league much like the soccer version. It would attract huge interest in Wales and open up the market for English players to move to Wales which may make the Welsh franchises more competitive. For the teams in the Prem it gives them the opportunity to add 4 franchises that are UK based, less travel and the formation of new rivalries in the UK. The URC is a nice concept but its a multinational league with huge travel for barely profitable fixtures. It, like Super Rugby, will probably dissolve at some point. South African fans have also not taken to the comp in the way that one would have hoped. The Lions attendances are paltry while the Sharks, Bulls and Stormers generally get big crowds for derby games but even matches against marquee sides like Leinster do not bring home the bacon. The same can be said for oversees matches where the South African teams are not a major draw either. The competition has steadily grown but is still well behind where it needs to be in many respects
