Wallabies vs Pumas - Preview

Expect the Argies trying to disrupt the Wallabies at the brake down and give them extra slow ball. The Aussies without the fire power of genia needs Quade Cooper to spark. I think the Pumas should own the weak Aussie pack with captain Fernandez Lobbe and impressive lock Albecete leading from the front. In all I think it is going to be an extreamely tight game, but I predict that the Pumas will fly back to their South American homes with a victory.

Prediction:

It is a brave one, but Argentina by 3-5 points.
