the 8/9 Tap & Go: Have the other three teams created depth issues for themselves?

from 8/9 Rugby · host Brett McKay & great co-hosts

The first weekend of The Rugby Championship is here, and Australia, Argentina, and New Zealand have finally named their teams, roughly 10 days after Rassie Erasmus dropped his South African selection. Brett & Harry ask the key questions going into this weekend’s all-important first round – with the Springboks hosting the Wallabies in Johannesburg, and Los Pumas hosting the All Blacks in Cordoba. This week's key questions: 1. Harry – Have the Wallabies created a problem for themselves if injury strikes at the worst time, with no backup 10 on the bench? 2. Brett – Montoya, Matera, Kremer, Mallia, Tetaz Chapparo, Petti, Gonzalez, Carreras, 500 caps between them - but is this one of the youngest Los Pumas teams we've seen in a TRC match? 3. Harry – Depth is an absolute necessity: has NZ built enough in the back five of the pack when inevitable injury strikes? What do you think? We'd love to hear from you in the comments below!
