World News – AU – Wallabies accept Michael Chica’s threat with the arrival of an embarrassing reunion

Australia heads into Saturday’s Triple Nations Sale fight against Pumas in Newcastle, North Sydney, buoyed by angering All Blacks two weeks ago.

But Argentina’s stunning 25-15 victory over Ian Foster’s men last week quickly wiped out any Australian complacency..

“These players have played before, we know very well what they can do,” Hopper said of Argentina..

“They have shown a lot of heart and good discipline (against New Zealand), they have got some really good players and they will be a really big threat tomorrow night.

The key to Argentina’s victory over three-time world champion New Zealand – its first in 35 years – was Sanchez, who scored all points, including his only attempt and six penalties..

Hopper said of Stade Francais’ half-fly: « He’s a good player, he can kick with both feet. He’s a quick threat, he’s got an amazing skill set. ».

« and he puts his body to the test. It’s a really good number 10, and it’s really a world quality 10. He played a lot in Europe, he’s a threat and he’s our focus.

Huber also referred to the threat posed by Argentina captain Pablo Matera, also referring to him as world-class..

Huber knows a lot about other opponents about Chica, his former Australian coach who left sharply after the Wallabies’ World Cup failure last year.

Cheika now works as a consultant to Argentina alongside coach Mario Ledesma, and the duo are credited with organizing the removal of the All Blacks team.

“It can deliver a lot of hell. « Sheikh » is a wonderful coach. But I’m not in camp, so I don’t know what he’s talking about, Hopper said.

“But Sheikh had such a good knack for keeping you on your toes, so I’m sure he was on his toes after a good performance last week.

“I am not sure what he will bring and what their children will bring this week, but it is necessary for us to focus on ourselves and what we want to present. Australia is heading into the match with a one-of-two win in Tri Nations, and needs to win to maintain its title. New Zealand lost two games and won one, while Pumas had matches in hand, winning their only game so far..

The head-to-head clash is badly in Australia’s favor, after winning 17 of the last 19 games against Argentina.

« We didn’t make any bones and want to put some silver in our wardrobe again, » said Hopper..

“We are clear about what we are trying to achieve and pressure us to be able to do so.
