Team Of The Week
It was hard to find room for any Argentine players, but a couple managed to make the cut in the end. A little tough maybe on a mostly decent Australia?

After leading well into the final quarter of the match, Australia conceded three tries to South Africa in the final ten minutes to suffer a humbling defeat.
The Wallabies stunned the Springboks at the Subiaco Oval but will be hard pressed to repeat at Newlands Stadium, where they haven’t won since 1992.
A few words on the preposterious rebranding of the IRB, a terrible turnout at the Gold Coast, the classy All Blacks, and some weird jersey choices.
Not the greatest week for selections given the dire match in the Gold Coast, but we’ve managed to piece together a fully representative side.
The All Blacks were made to look mortal against a brutally determined Springbok side who had every chance to steal a win of their own in the dying moments.
The All Blacks head south to Wellington this week to welcome the Springboks, reeling somewhat after a disappointing finish to the match in Perth.
Thankfully the predicted wet weather didn’t affect the play too much and we got some decent rugby, and with it some decent performances to choose from.
The Wallabies made things a bit more difficult than they needed to be, but managed to steal the win with a near last-minute try from Rob Horne.
Australia hope to put a stop to a three-match losing skid against the Springboks at the Oval, but if recent form is anything to go by it will be hard going.
