The Rugby Championship - round 4

Can NZ get some revenge for last week? Will Australia show up and get their act together?
@Olap what are the odds of a new Aussie coach after the tournament is done?
It has to be pretty high. They can't go North as they are, they're going to get gubbed. But what choice do they have really? Players clearly not up for it, will a new coach pull them out a doldrum? This is also the team to host the Lions next year and 3-0 a distinct possibility.
I'd stick with Schmidt but I think he probably needs a better forward coach and a bunch of work within the franchises on the forwards as well. I haven't watched the two Argentina games, but for the games I have seen they've been losing in the forwards as much as the backs. Lolesio nor any other option at 10 can't do much if the blokes in front aren't getting parity.
@TagMeInSkipIGotThis @Olap probably best to stick with Schmidt. He isn’t their problem. I think they have a few big names out injured but it’ll be a while before they’re truly on the upswing.
