    The Swan-dive just about went awry for Zane there. Put it away son before you move to Dublin.

    It's. A. Rout.

    Australia are just awful. I'd pick Wales, England, and Ireland on their day to depose of them at the moment.

    Argentina will be looking forward to a nice Malbec with their Wallaby steaks.

    I normally leave these statements for the more knowledgable posters, but Australian rugby is in a very dark place

    This'll make the Lions think. Whichever columnist this week decried the 'legendary' tour in favour of 'ordinary' was right.

    Even as a Cantab man myself, I lost faith in Deans. But Deans is being seen in a different light after McKenzie's opening salvo.

    So whats the big issue, a yet unsettled squad? New combos and patterns?

    Australia just don't have enough quality in the front five, and haven't done for nearly four years now

    I still think Aus will beat Pumas twice. This wouldn't happen if White was at the helm I feel.

    Dumb tactics for a start.

    But he seriously seriously needs Higginbotham & Pocock back in fitness.

    And the usual scrumming problems, of course.

    Vermulen has really stepped up...a real physical edge now to his game!

    I was roaring for Munster to make a big move for him 18 months ago. He was 25, uncapped and would have added a huge amount to their side.

    You have to wonder what Australia are doing in training, they have no tactics. No player is guaranteed of their place, even Genia deserves to be dropped. I thought McKenzie would bring back some spirit to the team, but they seem to have absolutely no motivation.

    I'm mystified. The season started so promisingly for Australian rugby and it's rapidly degenerating into a farce.

    Australians desert a sinking ship in droves, so crowd support might become an issue. If this continues, I expect an SOS to Jake White.

    Well, that was embarrassing.

    From a Leinster point of view I'm disappointed to see the SA back three link up so well! I reckon Le Roux might find a starting spot on the wing and Leinster won't see Kirchner until December at this stage.

    Just watched the game on d'oul Sky+. My God, that was the worst 80 minutes of rugby I've ever seen from a Wallaby team. It was an utterly un-Australian performance..hopeless, hopeless, hopeless. I've alway admired how the wallabies out-thought and out-fought often superior (on paper) sides..but that was totally abject...difficult times ahead for the sport in Oz I reckon...cant see too many Aussies turning out to watch that kind of dross on a regular basis...
