[QUOTE="ZeFrenchy, post: 524686, member: 47244"] FarÃas' exclusive task will be to put pressure on Phipps, and Albacete will glad to help on that. Every team that plays against Quade Copper will try to put as much pressure on im as they can, so I think Leguizamón will be in charge of that. The only ones that have succeeded in that, however, ar the AB, although without Genia I can see Copper having more pressure on him. Also, how experienced is BB at fullback? A tactical kicker like JMH can have quite some fun if the FB is not up to the task. For Australia, Hopper will have a lot of work. Not starting Higgingbotham and putting Douglas straight on the starting side tells us that Dingo will try to match the Pumas in the forwards. The alternative was to play Higgs, try to get the ball out as quickly as possible and try to outclass the Pumas' in the wide. I don't think that trying to out-Argentina Argentina is a good idea. That's what we tried to do in th RWC 2007 opener and that didn't go well. Still, Oz are the favourites, and I think they will win. Edit: my all-time favourite TH prop will be starting for Australia. Will this be another of his memorable performances, as against Ireland in the WC? [/QUOTE]
